The trip mediocre. No water was provided on an 8 hr trip. Lunch wasn't included and the restaurant didn't take credit cards which we did not know up front. The driver basically put everyone in the back of a truck. Drove to a couple of places with no dialogue on travel.. The driver was friendly and informative when he wasn't driving. The scenery was nice.

The tour was nice but way too long. Should have booked the half-day tour.

The view of the island is beautifull and interesting. However, we never really learned much else regarding information and I was slightly disappointed in the guide.

Wow what a day Augustine our driver was terrific. It was a great trip seeing the jungle and many beautiful waterfalls and luckily an amazing rainbow. It was terrific to c such a different aspect after seeing so many wonderful fish and beaches. This trip is not for the fainthearted as the road is a real adventure. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

First, take plenty of bug spray. The trip was much more rough going than we thought. At the start the guide was not that helpful as I asked him what were we likely to see, his response was trees, really informative ?

The guide was good but could have talked more about what we were seeing. We also wanted to stop more at different stops and swim.We passed a few nice places where people were swimming. when i asked he said the weather wasn't good for swimming. Although weather was't the greatest raining on and off. We wanted to swim. We all had our suits on and it was listed in the tour that we would swim at a waterfall.

Excellent trip. Beautiful scenery and lot of water falls to observe. Only draw back was the lunch. It was not good. No one in our group could finish their lunch because it was that bad. Beer was good.

This trip was absolutely amazing. If you happen to get Sydney as your driver guide you hit the jackpot. The trail is bumpy! Hey its a safari, however he takes every precaution to assure a save, magnificent , and breathtaking journey journey. The price was right as well. We have used Viator on several occasions Antarctica for one......they always come thru with amazing driver guides vehicles prices and follow up to make sure you have the best experience...free pick up at hotels and piers. Thanks Viator for many hours of fabulous tour hours

What a great day out. Amazing scenery and a gazillion waterfalls. A refreshing swim in one of the streams. Augustine our guide was lovely and stopped many times she to show us beautiful flowers and for an American couple 'wild' bananas! He was a very competent driver on some crazy tracks. Thoroughly recommend. Cheers Pam, Australia

Amazing Tour!
Review by: Evelyn B, September 2017
We never lost our sense of adventure as we rode along the bumpy, steep and winding road/track that took us across the middle of the island through the caldera and returned us to the pier from the other side of the island. The scenery was varied and often spectacular and the bilingual commentary was competent and informative. It was a long and somewhat tiring day picked up punctually at 9.20 am and returned to our cruise ship at 6.05 pm but we never felt bored. The only criticism I would make is that the lunch stop was expensive and the food I ordered unappetizing fried chicken was served with limp french fries rather than the beans and rice described on the menu. If possible, taking a picnic lunch with you could be a better alternative.

Not for the faint of heart! Choose the half day better! The top is beautiful but no need to make it all the way up. It's dangerous to go the final 3 miles to the top. The full day ended up for us taking the entire day and arrived at our resort at 7:30 p.m.The full day was not worth it for us.

We enjoyed this tour a lot. Simon was a great driver and guide. The interior of Tahiti is very impressive and the swim at the natural pool is a highlight.

This was a really great way to see the beauty of the Tahiti island! There's some really cool and very extreme landscape there and the tour guide was really knowledgeable about the island. It was helpful that there was a bilingual tour guide since there were French and English speakers on the tour. He was also great at taking pictures for people. The restaurant that we stopped at for lunch was great and had a magnificent view. I would definitely recommend this tour if you're planning to visit Tahiti!

Fantastic day out and a great way to see some more of the island. Our guide was really friendly and knew everything there was to know about the places we visited. We didn't go swimming in the river, but just beware of the mosquitos - I got loads of bites even after spraying lots of repellent.

Our tour guide, Simon, was knowledgeable and told great stories. He seemed to know the roads well which was good since the path was rocky and steep. Simon was entertaining and seemed to care about the people in the tour group and went out of his way to make it enjoyable for us. Our lunch stop was one of the best meals on the trip as it tasted so fresh and flavorful. We ended the day by being driven to a spot on the island for a spectacular sunset. I think this was a place that Simon and other locals knew about. It was our only sunset while in French Polynesia and it was killer. Kudos to the Simon and this tour company!
