Highlights
- Arahurahu Marae - Archaeological site
-
Maraa Grotto - Maraa Grotto: features lush freshwater pools, small caves, and the dripping grotto itself, surrounded by ferns. Paul Gauguin mentioned it in his letters home, taking a break from his usual requests for loans; the poor fellow didn’t quite live the life he depicted in his paintings.

Perfect Way to See the Island! - We had such a great day on this tour and learned so much about the island, geography, and history of the people that we would not have otherwise known. Fabrice was wonderful and very accommodating to customize our tour to fit our needs and make a few extra stops along the way! We loved everything that we saw and felt that all of the stops were differentiated enough that we were excited to see all of them. We had tons of questions along the way / during each of the stops and having Fabrice as a local who grew up on the island was absolutely necessary to make the most of this tour.
I would highly recommend this tour if you are staying in Tahiti or stopping through for the day. One tip I would recommend is to bring bug spray since some of the stops can have mosquitoes and you don't want to feel rushed :)
Thank you for an awesome day! <3

Fabrice was an ambassador for French Polynesia - Fabrice brought Tahiti and the Polynesian islands to life for us. He was a fabulous tour guide. He explained the culture, the economics, l social fabric, food, geography, geology, religion, and more. We always felt safe with his driving and the tour was perfectly paced. Five star A+ rating!

Rainy day fun - It was a rainy day but still a good day to tour the landmarks of Tahiti.
Our guide was thoughtful, answering lots of questions and providing large umbrellas for our walks. We recommend this tour.

The best island tour - We had heard there was nothing to do in Tahiti and it really wasn't worth the time visiting the island. Wrong! This was an amazing tour and we got to see so much of the island. Good pace, great information and lots of fun Our guide Fabrice was exceptionally good. One of the best island tours....and we have done a lot.

Amazing private tour with Tahiti Eden - We all enjoyed the private tour immensely even though our kids don’t usually like tours. The kids even said they could have done the 8 hr tour! Fabrice was very kind, patient, knowledgeable and flexible. He made stops that weren’t part of the itinerary and never rushed us even though we exceeded the time.

Nice, relaxing and interesting tour - We were driven in a very nice vehicle around the entire island by a gentleman who knew it well. We made several stops where he told us about the history of the island and the people. We didn't feel rushed when we found someplace that we wanted to spend a little more time at. It was a very interesting afternoon.
