This lady Pawa was amazing - we toured solid for 5 hours and saw everything we were supposed to see - she was native to Papeete, so she shared a lot of history and information that a local would know !!! Near the end of the tour, she even sang a beautiful song to us - she first told us the meaning and then sang the song in Tahitian language !!! I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TOUR TO EVERYONE !!!

A great trip going all around the main island. Wish there could have been one or two more short photo only stops. Guide/driver Cookie was very good and knowledgeable. Recommend the trip.

Best tour I could find. A interesting tour with a few stops, but mostly by van and pictures were hard to take as van moves quickly. Itinerary accurate, so some places of interest have been left out of this tour. Our cruise offers a tour that completes the sights of interest on this island. Tour guide, Cookie, very nice. Gaugain Museum is closed and has been for years. No original art work there anyway. Looking forward to the Museum of the Tahitian people. I have read it is well worth seeing.

On the plus side, we saw some sights around the island, including a black sand beach, waterfalls, unusual plants. blowholes. We were dropped off at the airport, which was the destination we all wanted._br/_ On the negative side, the trip was supposed to be five hours, but we were dropped off after four and a half hours. During the tour, the driver stopped at a gas station and at an ATM machine. It was difficult to understand her because of her strong accent, the fact that she spoke fast, and also because she did not have a microphone. She did not accompany us when we were dropped off at sightseeing spots.

We saw a lot of the island in a short time and covered most of the places to see.Sadly no time to sit on any of the beaches.

This was a wonderful way to spend an afternoon circling the island with our gracious tour guide, Cookie. We only had 4 people in our tour group, so we were able to converse with Cookie, didnt feel rushed at any of the sites, and saw the sites promised, plus a few others. Our guide told bout his family and had a nice way about him. Would definitely r3commend, especially if you get. Okie as a guide.

The tour guide was wonderful. He was friendly, polite and well spoken. We were very pleased with his commentary and the stops where he _br/_ generously shared a summary and a bit of personal experience._br/_ We felt that we had received a good review of Tahiti Nui and gained more information about Tahiti iti. The guide drew the route on my map and explained the distances involved.

Excellent half day tour of Tahiti island. Our guide was on time at pick up, well informed and gave good commentary on island highlights and some good tips. The explanations regarding each stop were very complete and he always told us what was happening next. Cookie was a very caring guide and put the well-being of his guests first at all times. We learned so much about Tahiti on this compact tour. It is a good option for anyone who has an afternoon free after returning to Papeete from other islands. We also like the pick up location and drop off very close to our vacation rental.

Beautiful scenery but that was about it._br/_ Lacked organisation.

The only redeeming grace of this excursion was the conversation with the driver

Tour guide Cookie was excellent and very knowledgeable. Unfortunately it rained however we were able can to see all the sights listed. The group was small, just 7 and given this we had a pleasant afternoon.

Tour comprehensive--Cookie is excellent tour guide
Review by: Jean-Guy D, January 2018
We were disappointed because we assumed Tahiti had more to offer. The tour guide was fine, we made few stops but would had like to see beaches. We could had rented a car and drive around the island ourselves.

Cookie was an excellent tour guide. Very knowledgeable and with a great personality.

Our cruise ship docked in Papeete and we were advised to wait outside the Tahiti Nui Office. As this was a Sunday, the office was shut and no one to confirm our presence. However, our air conditioned coach arrived and as we had the e vouchers Cookie our driver and guide and comedian let us on. Whilst the tour took us all the way round the coast ot the main part of the island, the view point was not exactly up the mountain. Cookie was an entertaining driver who was very informative. Good value for money when compared with cruise ship prices.

The tour was good with a good driver but Tahiti was a disappointment as it appeared rundown and had seen better days.
