Experience the Interior Beauty of Tahiti - What a great day! We were blessed (as Rainui would say) with some rain and it was still fun! Get ready to learn about the land, culture, and Tahitian history. It is a bumpy ride and a long day, but worth every minute. I always felt very safe as he navigated up and down the valley. So beautiful - thank you for sharing your island with us!

Crossing Tahiti in 4x4 - We spent a very good day with Hotu our guide who knew how to pass on his knowledge and passion to us. We discovered Tahiti on the mountain side with superb landscapes. The little fruit tasting was also very appreciated ☺️ I highly recommend this excursion, you will not be disappointed!

Awesome ! A perfect ride with Rainui - A superb day spent with Rainui. An exceptional guide who explains the history of Tahiti and gives us as much information as possible on this beautiful island. We feel the love of Fenua in his words. Rainui is excited to share this with us. A brand new, very comfortable 4x4. Rainui was very attentive to my elderly parents who were able to discover Papenoo with complete peace of mind. I recommend 100%

5-star excursion ⭐️ with Rainui! - 5-star excursion ⭐️ with Rainui! A passionate and exciting guide, who adapts to his audience (adaptation of “soft” Polynesian legends for the young adventurers of the day) A gentle drive through the valleys of Tahiti Nui for a visit punctuated with details on the local fauna and flora, and the ancestral legends of the island. Aimed at all curious and respectful audiences, looking for an authentic excursion far from mass tourism. If you are looking to understand what Tahitian Mana is and stock up on it, you are in the right place!

Great day out with the best guide, stunning scenery - What a great day. Our guide was the funniest, knowledge and careful driver. We crossed through rugged terrain and the most stunning scenery listening to the stories of culture and history. We swam in a waterfall pool and enjoyed a beautiful fruit and bread platter. Lots of laughs along the way

The best guide! - An absolutely sumptuous visit to the Papenoo Valley with a very professional and caring Rainui guide for all those accompanying him. It is a well of knowledge through the plants, the sites that he shows us but also the legends, we had been in good and trusting hands. There is nothing missing in the 4X4, its humor and friendliness are there. We absolutely recommend this visit to discover Tahiti and we recommend Rainui with our eyes closed!! Good luck to you with the Mana de la Vallee! Ua Reva!

A wonderful expedition which will remain in our fondest memories of our trip to Polynesia! - This discovery of the island in 4X4, on a magical track which crosses it through the center, is simply an absolute must. Rainui, our guide, is an exceptional guy of kindness and a very beautiful culture, he will lead you gently through the jungle, will be able to share with you all his knowledge and his passion for Thai history. I really recommend.

Best tour guide! - I was a bit hesitant as I was worried it would be too bumpy ( it really wasn’t bad ) This is an amazing 8 hour tour through the mountains and valley of Tahiti. The Guide is an authentic Tahitian and is a safe and excellent driver. The time flew by with numerous stops, feeding the eels, photo opportunities and a swim in water, all along with Tahitian history/stories and descriptions of medicinal plants. The scenery is quite green and lush. We all bought lunch at an amazing French bakery before entering the valley and we ate it at the swim location stop. He cut up local fruits and had a taste of the most delicious coconut bread! I’m so glad it did this tour. One of my finest memories of Tahiti. It rained a bit but he was able to put a cover on the jeep. The rain only added to the beauty of the scenery. I used a GoPro mounted on my wrist with hyper stabilizer on and captured some fantastic videos. Don’t miss this tour!!
