Go straight to the Operator book direct - Fantastic way to get into the island of Moorea. From zipping up the main road to jungle pathways we immersed ourselves in the countryside. The ATV guide was knowledgeable and friendly looked out for all his trekkers. Highly recommended

Julien was our guide and... - Julien was our guide and took great care of us. We were lucky that there were only two of us on board. The journey up the river was beautiful, stunning scenery and only the sound of birds. It really was magical. After we visited the Raiatai Pearl Farm, again a very small operation so you got the personal experience. Definitely a worthwhile trip

Wonderful Experience in Raiatea! - Fabulous tour of the Raiatea coastline. Boat captain Julien and guide Teiki presented a wealth of information about Raiatea’s history, culture and important landmarks. During our stop at an active pearl farm, we learned about the fascinating process of growing the black pearls Polynesia is known for. Highly recommend this tour!

A delightful afternoon - We thoroughly enjoyed after afternoon with our captain/guide Julien. He arrived early at our meeting point with a sign that clearly showed our names. We first went to the pearl farm by boat. Most of the ride was parallel to the reef. So we enjoyed the beautiful colours of the water. The pearl farm was interesting and gave insights to this important cultural industry. The trip up the fresh water river was very serene. Julien served us fresh fruit, juices and water. He was good humoured and pleasant. We encountered some swells o. The return to port but the boat handled them well and Julien was very competent. We thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon.

For what was offered... - For what was offered this trip was a bit expensive. Most of the time we spent on the boat round trip. The ride on the river was nice,.

Needs commentary - Most of this trip was riding in the boat to visit a pearl farm. The pearl farm was interesting, but felt more like a shopping expedition. The trip up the River was beautiful, but could have been made much better with commentary. The tour was to be limited to 12 but when two boats travel everywhere together there are 24 passengers causing a bit of a crowd at the Pearl farm.

Boat ride with pearl factory was ok. - The boat ride was good and the visit to pearl factory was good, but it would have been nice to have a tour guide that actually gave us information about the country and local area. We received no information at all while on the tour.
