An enjoyable day. Beautiful scenery. - Our guide Chris was on time and an excellent host for our day of sightseeing and swimming. Well done.

Awesome experience - We had an amazing tour with Tai - if you’re visiting Samoa, this is a must do! 10/10 had the best time… thanks heaps for an amazing day Tai!

Wow! The turtles!!!! - Great experience seeing beautiful landmarks and the sea turtles were the highlight. Our guide was absolutely fantastic.

Turtle Waterfall beach tour - Great time had by all. Excellent. We had a ball. George was funny and informative. The sights were extraordinary. Lunch was delicious. What more could you want? Do this

Game Changer! Words and Photos Don't Do It Justice!!! - 5/5 recommend! Tai is full of passion for Samoa and that shone through in his storytelling! What a day! Nearly 9 hours of natural island beauty, laughter, new experiences, unknown treasures.... we loved every minute! Thank you Tai, we wish you and your family every bit of happiness, good health and everything that is great in the world!

Best day on our Samoa trip! - We were recommended Tai's tour from our accommodation and we couldn't be happier! Not only was Tai super friendly, but he was incredibly knowledgeable and informative. We went on a tour for 8 hours but it just flew by, visiting a number of the most amazing natural beauties that Samoa has to offer. We were initially tossing up whether to go on a tour or rent a vehicle to take ourselves around but having now gone on the tour I am 100% sure we made the right choice. Highly recommend!

Spent 3 days touring with Tai’s, I highly recommend them! - I spent 3 of my 7 days in Samoa touring with Tai’s. I got to see the island of Savaii as well as the East and West sides of Upolu. I learned a lot about the history and culture from a local chief, saw the most beautiful waterfalls, and snorkeled at the best spots. Tai’s made the whole experience easy and fun! I highly recommend spending the day (or 3) with them!

Solo traveler spent 3 days touring with Tai’s, I highly recommend! - I was a solo traveler and spent 3 days out of my weeklong trip touring the islands with Tai’s brother. I had originally booked 2 days but towards the end of my trip there were a few more specific places I wanted to see and they were thankfully able to accommodate me on short notice! I went on a nice day trip to the island of Savaii, another solo traveler joined this tour. It was definitely worth the trip as it has a lot of different things to offer than Upolu island. My other 2 tours were on Upolu…basically one day to the Eastern side of the island and one to the West. Thankfully with their help and guidance I was able to see all the best waterfalls, snorkel at the best spots (definitely go to Palolo Deep, and I also loved the amazing giant clams at Savaia), experienced some wonderful views from up in the mountains, and most importantly got the local perspective on life in Samoa and learned a lot about the history and culture. Samoa is a beautiful and wonderful place. I highly recommend booking a tour with Tai’s Native Experience!

Highly Recommended - We are a couple in our 60's and experienced independent travelers. Tai was our driver guide on two full day tours and coordinated our third tour. First tour was to Monono Island to spend hands on time with a family in their daily life (Thank you for allowing us to visit) and included a walk around the island to understand the history and daily living of this island that has no vehicles so locals walk everywhere. Tai had arrange a boat across to the island, visit to the family home plus our pick up and return to our Sheraton Samoa Beach accommodation nearby. This was something unusual and a great way to understand Samoan life and culture. Second tour was a full day on the big island Savaii. Tai collected us from our hotel, arranged our tickets and boarding on the ferry and meeting of his colleague Chris on Savaii. We had a specific list of places we wanted to see and spent the full day with Chris circumnavigating the island then staying at Jet Over Hotel (our wrong choice of Hotel and not recommended as there are better). The next day Chris left his Sunday family gathering to collect us and safely arranged our boarding of the 1pm return ferry. Tai had given us money for a taxi back to our hotel. Third tour we spent a full day of Upolu with Tai doing the full circle seeing specific places we wanted to see plus Tai added in a few extras that were fantastic (thank you). The highlight of this tour was the unique giant clams. Even though it was low tide, with a little trail and error, we still got around the shallow coral to see these amazing creatures. Our days sightseeing was ambitious to do in a day but Tai pulled it off. From the very beginning of booking until the final farewell everything was perfect, punctual, caring, knowledgeable and friendly. We would highly recommend Tai's Native Experience but be warned that you will need to book a long way in advance as they have a busy schedule of bookings. His colleagues are equally attentive and knowledgeable because prior to the pandemic they all worked together in the tourism industry so Tai has an excellent team. We wish them well into the future. This review was not encouraged or influenced and as a regular poster on review sites you will see my review history they are both positive and negative so very truthful.

The best in Samoa - My trip to Samoa wouldn't have been the same without Tai. Hands down the best tour company/experience that Samoa has to offer. Tai made me feel at home and made sure that my short stay in Samoa was simply the best. Sorry that this is a lengthy review but I think Tai & team deserve all the glory and I also feel it would help others in making the decision of choosing Tai, over others, a tad bit easier. I had the privilege of being part of 2 tours organized by Tai. One was a day long immersive experience with a Samoan family. This was an authentic and hands-on as it can get. Tai picked me up and simply dropped me with a family in his village and said the rest of the day is between you and the family. For the next 8 hours I was involved in every aspect of their day to day life, be it prepping the food for the day, setting up the Umu, gathering everything that we needed form the garden and fields around, feeding their chicken, walking deep into the village meeting fellow members of the village who happened to pass by or gathering fruit from random trees and cooling off by the stream. It was not pretentious, as real as it can get and above all with limited English between the host family (where only one member was able to communicate well) and myself. But yet I felt I simply became part of the family, learning everything they did through trial and error, exchanging our own lived experiences and ways of life and how similar we ultimately were regardless of the cultural practices that we have come to be. I will never forget this day. It felt like a blessing to be able to experience this. The second day Tai arranged a day tour around Upolu with Chris. It was great to see all the "must sees" in the Island. But what made this day extra special was the in depth knowledge of history, lived experience, and local practices and ways of life that Chris shared with me that made the day sweeter. Chris was equally curious about my own culture and experience and I will always remember and cherish these moments of discussion. Chris was calm and patient and we even ended up checking out a local wedding that we happened to pass by. How cool is that! I think I have said enough to convince to give this tour company a chance. Tai's Native Experience is simply the best in Samoa.
