A must do excursion!!
This was an amazing experience!! Our guide was knowledgeable and even played the ukulele and sang. Very entertaining!! We learned a lot about vanilla, pearls and rum. The snorkeling was great, so many fish and other creatures to see. The lunch was very good and we even had some entertainment there. Everyone we encountered was friendly and willing to share their knowledge and deep respect for their island . This was our favorite excursion in French Polynesia!!

Amazing day exploring Tahaa
This was an amazing day! The guides make this experience truly a memorable one! Our guide Tarzan was great! The tour included a delicious lunch and beach time at the motu with an authentic Polynesian lunch experience and also a very funny show to follow by the guides. I would highly recommend this especially if you’re here on a stop with a cruise ship!

Magical walk accompanied by a top-notch guide
Tura was an amazing guide, attentive, friendly, and thoughtful!
Fabulous walk worthy of immersion in a postcard scene
The meal was worthy of a gourmet restaurant
And the various stops were interesting (perfect for bringing back little local souvenirs for our loved ones - Pearl Vanilla Rum)
We will come back because it's Tura 🫶

Roy was an excellent guide who told us all about Raiatea.and Tahaa and took us to an amazing part of the Tahaa coral garden where we have never seen so much healthy coral and a great variety of fish. We highly recommend Papa Zulu and Roy!

Very beautiful excursion around Tahaa
Very interesting tour of the island of Tahaa led by a very friendly guide. After visiting a pearl farm, a vanilla producer, and a distillery, we made a guided snorkeling stop in a very beautiful coral garden as well as a stop to swim with blacktip reef sharks. The meal on the motu Tuahi was delicious, surrounded by a just splendid setting! An excursion that one can only recommend!

4×4 Tour – Culture, Crafts and Agritourism in RaiateaAndy_J, Aug 2026
Very informative
Travel through the heart of the island and into the middle of the caldera. Enjoy the verdand vistas. Visit a pearl farm and learn how these beautiful objects are created. Finally visit Gerrard's farm to taste his exquisite local honey infused with home grown vanilla.. The highlight for me was the visit to the ancient marae. Kia Kaha.

Discovery in Kayaking of the Faaroa River in RaiateaelodiecU9550OY, Aug 2026
Kayak trip
We did the tour with James's wife who shared great knowledge with us about the river and what it could provide to the Polynesians (food source, medicinal...) all along the way.
We were also able to enjoy a very welcome fruit-based snack.
James and his wife are very concerned about the well-being of their clients and their satisfaction.
We had a very good time in their company and recommend them with our eyes closed!
A big thank you to you!
