Wonderful trip. Book it, you won’t regret it - A fantastic morning spent learning about some of the products produced locally. There was only my husband and I on our tour, so it felt really special and personalised. This was the only half day tour to Taha’a that we could find, and so glad we found it as we’d already done most of the other things that full day trips offered by other companies included Very lucky to also see an eagle ray, humpback whale and a pod of spinner dolphins on our way back to Raiatea. What a bonus. Just wish I’d used my mosquito spray as got eaten alive at the vanilla farm

Greatest time in Raitea! - Papa Zoulou and Big Boss were so down to earth and genuinely kind. My husband and I were the only couple in the tour ands they were so great to us, even though we hardly spoke a word of French. They provided history and knowledge , as well as provided water, juice, and fresh fruit that included papaya from Big Boss’s own garden. We were caught in a bit of rain and they provided us with raincoats and stored our bag so it wouldn’t get wet. We felt like we were with family. Everyone, and I mean everyone, knows them and happily greeted them as well as us. It was a wonderfully welcoming experience and would recommend anyone going on an adventure in Raiatea to seek them out hands down. Thank you Papa Zoulou and Joseè for your hospitality and great time!

Magic - It was really magical thanks to our guide Rore who introduced me with a lot of patience to snorkeling and made us discover on the island of Taa’a a superb family vanilla grove where he makes time and patience to give us superb vanilla pods with an intoxicating smell and an excellent rum distillery (the best of the world)😉. Thanks again to Rore. Fabrice and Virginie.

Excellent tour operator - We booked two excursions with this tour, during the Polynesian cruise. The first half-day included sailing on the Faaroa River with its history, visiting the Marae of Taputapuatea - the heart of Polynesian culture, and stopping at the motu - small island - for tropical fruit tasting and swimming. What about all very nice, great guide and good captain. The 2 tour booked It involved a full day on Tahaa Island. We visited the vanilla plantation of APU Bay in Tahaa, the magical pearl farm -Love Here Pearl farm, the Rum distillery with sugar cane of Tahaa, snorkeled in the coral garden of Tahaa and finally took us to lunch on a motu - small island - Polynesian buffet with music and dance entertainment. Fantastic experience. Again excellent guide and captain. If you want to do a great tour in Raiatea do not hesitate to contact them. You won't regret it. Highly recommended!

Unforgettable! - The tours are informative and always with good humor! You don't feel "pushed" to buy either. As for the discovery of coral gardens it is really extraordinary! Just worth it! Another big thank you to Roe our captain for his kindness and all his stories.

Great cruise around... - Great cruise around Ta'haa. Pearl farm surprised us by using Mississippi River clams. Pearl jewelry ranged from reasonably priced to (expected) expensive. Bought pearls there.

Great! We loved it. - Our captain was super nice and we were offered fresh fruit and water frequently. We even had the chance to watch dolphins! At each stop you get the explanation of the process, very interesting. It was very cool!

Still an enjoyable tour - We enjoyed visiting the pearl farm and seeing how cultured pearls are created. The boat ride was a bit rough and therefore hard on my body. It was also a bit difficult in that our guide didn't speak English. But despite these, we had a very good time
