Fun tour and stunning views! - Heirani gave us a great tour! He is knowledgeable, friendly, and enjoys telling you about his culture and island. We learned a lot about Moorea, soaked in some breathtaking views, and enjoyed some local food. We highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants a relaxing and good-vibe experience with a locally-owned and operated tour company.

Excellent Tour - This is a wonderful tour of the island. Your host and driver is very pleasant and speaks excellent English, French and French Polynesian. We saw all the main sights by land in a very comfortable 4x4 vehicle. I highly recommend

Heirani and his Tour are Outstanding!! - I cannot recommend this tour with Heirani enough. Yes, you will pay a bit more than other 4x4 tours but it is 100% worth it as Heirani has a level of communication, sincerity, knowledge, passion, and know-how that other tour operators in Moorea do not.
His comfortable jeep protects you from the sun and Heirani always makes sure you stay hydrated with water, juice, and alcohol always available. His level of expertise was evident when he adeptly drove backwards up the trail to Magic Mountain (unlike the other 4x4s) to make it easier to go down the mountain. Heirani takes you to a variety of beautiful places (including a pearl shop owned by his family, juice factory, multiple viewpoints and maraes) and his explanations as well as flexibility truly make this a once-in-a-lifetime tour on such a beautiful island. We ended our trip with a beautiful trip to the beach and a fantastic lunch with recently spearfished Mahi-Mahi that was SO fresh at a local oceanside locale. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour to anyone coming to Moorea. It was a magical experience!

Excellent experience with an experienced and highly professional local guide. - Our day with Heirani was an excellent experience. He communicated with us prior to our tour and was very responsive when we had questions. Heirani was on time and took a few minutes to see if there was anything special that we wanted to see. His tour truck is new and in excellent shape. Heirani provided water and snacks. There was also a very nice rum punch available. On rough roads, he was careful and operated the vehicle, so the ride was comfortable. At each of our stops he answered questions and gave personal insights into life on Moorea as well the history of Polynesia. Overall, it was clear that Hierani is a motivated tour professional who takes pride in his work and his native land. After our tour, we felt that we had better understanding of Moorea and its key features. Others have mentioned that this is a newer company but Heirani had years of prior experience with other tour operators before going on his own. If all of the other experiences that we have on this trip are this good, it will be a great trip indeed. We recommend highly.

A new Owner Operated Tour. You get the real deal with Heirani's 4x4 tour. - Our tour guide Heirani was awesome. He is the owner and operator of this 4x4 tour company. He takes you to the most beautiful place on the island of Moorea. He really strives to take care of his guests. His 4x4 truck is nice and the seats in the back of the truck are soft and comfortable. You are well protected from the sun. His tour is new but do not let that worry you. I would recommend Heirani's tour to all my family and friends.

Enjoyed your very much - Enjoyed this tour and it was not too difficult for older people. Guide was friendly and informative. We had plenty of time to cover the island. The only thing that could be an improvement, a little less shopping stops and more island scenery
