Private Island Tour ( 5 Hours)

Great way to get to see quite a bit of the island and learn about its history from an engaging tour guide, Antoinette.

Amazing tour! Would highly recommend in lieu of renting a car. Super knowledgeable driver who spoke fluent English. Stopped and each spot and had extensive historical knowledge of each sight. Amazing company and comfortable van travel! A++++

What a wonderful way to spend the day in Tahiti! We had a prompt pickup at our hotel, and our guide, Antonette, was ready to go. We set off to tour the beautiful island of Tahiti, driving the entire circumference of the island. Antonette was absolutely amazing. Along the way, we visited a sacred Marae burial site, the breathtaking Black Sand Beach, the Botanical Gardens, the Grottes de Mara’a, and several beautiful waterfalls. At every stop, Antonette provided us with excellent and interesting narratives about the history, culture, and natural beauty of Tahiti. Her knowledge and enthusiasm made the entire experience even more enjoyable. It was a fantastic day filled with beautiful sights and wonderful memories. We highly recommend this tour and Antonette as a guide. You will not be disappointed!

The tour was very informative and helpful. He knew the Island and went out of his way to help us. (Went out of his way to take us to an ATM! We would definitely recommend.

A fantastic tour around Tahiti . Fabrice had great communication from booking to meeting and was so knowledgeable about everything regarding Tahiti and the region throughout our tour . During the tour we stopped off at many quite stunning places and it was at a very pleasant un rushed pace. I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting this beautiful island. Thank you for a very memorable day

Our driver/guide, Antonette was amazing! She knew so much about the history and the flora and fauna. I would recommend her 110% to anyone taking a Tahiti Island tour. Thank you!!

Thoroughly enjoyed our island tour with Vetea - he provided a lot of interesting history and anecdotes about Tahiti. Definitely check it out if you are coming for a visit!

We had a great day with our tour guide, Antoinette. She was knowledgeable, kind, fun, and seemed to know every person and plant in Tahiti! We only had a few days to explore the island, so it was great to see many of the famous spots we otherwise wouldn't have visited. Antoinette took us all the way around the big island, with many beautiful stops along the way. She also got us delicious fresh fruit, treated us to ice cream, provided water, took us to her favorite bakery when we told her we love pain au chocolat (it was exceptional), and even offered to take us grocery shopping if we needed! Her generosity and willingness to make our day special really stood out. Each site we visited was gorgeous, interesting, and worth the visit. We especially loved the Fa'arumai waterfalls and Taharu'u Beach, but everything was wonderful! Many of the places we stopped had refreshing shade and cool water, which was lovely on a hot day. Antoinette is a fountain of knowledge, and she answered all of our questions with patience and enthusiasm. We learned so much about historical Tahiti, as well as Tahiti today. Thank you for a wonderful tour!

This tour was absolutely incredible. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and we were able to see the entire outer edge of the island with perfect stops planned along the way. It was an excellent way to get an overview of the island as a whole, traditions, history, and so much more. It felt more like our guide was a friend than someone we had just met. Additionally, the provider was very responsive to messages prior to the tour, which I appreciate. I highly recommend this tour!

We don’t usually take the time to leave reviews but we wanted to let everyone know that all of the wonderful things said about Fabrice are true. Starting with his thoughtful contact of us before the tour right to the end of the tour when he timed our arrival at the beach perfectly so that we could witness a beautiful Tahitian sunset, the excursion was flawless. We highly recommend Fabrice and his tour company.

Our guide did an exceptional job of showing the true culture of the Polynesian and Tahitian’s.way of life. She explained everything in a most beautiful way, coming from the love of her God and the love of her country. Each stop we made was special. Time to listen, take photos and use the toilets. She had snacks along the way. We were very happy and satisfied from the start and finish. Thank you.

Our driver was extremely good and gave all kinds of information I would highly recommend him to anyone

We covered a lot in 6 hours. Fabrice worked with my son and his wife to come up with a tour that covered the things they wanted to see. We ended up at the surfing spot at Teahupo'o. From there, 2 of the 4 of us boarded a local boat and went right out the the waves for a close look. Our guide, Vetea, took the rest of us to the surfing village used during the 2024 Olympics. We could walk a short easy trail while we watched and waited. If you aren't going to rent a local boat to see the waves up close, try to take binoculars to see the waves better. They are quite far out from shore. Vetea was always checking to see how everyone was doing and filling us in on the history of the places we visited. It was great to be picked up and dropped off at both our hotel and at another Airbnb. To just have the tour with people you know and are travelling with was perfect. We stopped at a local store at noon and bought some things for lunch. At the start of the tour, Vetea stopped at a local fruit market at the side of the road and treated us to a couple of containers of fresh pineapple. Thanks so much for a great day!

We had a 5 hour tour of Papeete with tour guide Vetea. It was a very enjoyable day with stops to try and taste different foods . Vetea was an excellent guide and informative. Loved the waterfall and final stop at lookout over Papeete with the sun setting

Antoinette was very personable and with great knowledge of the history and culture. Even though the weather didn’t totally cooperate, she persevered.

Great way to see the island and many major sites like waterfalls, the lighthouse and monuments. Antoinette was very informative and shared fresh fruit and got fresh bread to feed the eels and chickens at the botanical garden. It was a little long but it can’t be shorter if you take the trip around the entire island. The car was comfortable and air conditioned and we loved doing a private tour. Antoinette made us feel very special.

We had a great tour with Antoinette and learned so much about Tahiti! My favorite parts included our visit to the black sand beach, the waterfalls and eating yummy pineapple and mango treats! This tour takes you around the entire island of Tahiti Nui, so it did feel a bit rushed at times since it was 5 hours, but overall we enjoyed the experience.

Great tour of the highlights of Tahiti in a very comfortable vehicle with an excellent, knowledgeable driver/guide. Picked up on time at cruise terminal (with our luggage) and dropped off at our hotel near the airport.

We had a really wonderful time. Our guide Antoinette was really friendly and we learned a lot about the history and people of Tahiti.

From the time I booked~to pick~ to the actual tour~ Communication was very clear~ which I appreciated. We were picked up by Fabrice ahead of schedule in a clean air conditioned van. He explained exactly where we were going~ showing us on a map. He shared Excellent history- natural resources~ personal stories that answered all our questions about the island and living in paradise. He knew the names of flowers~ pointed out things we would have missed~ took great pictures of us with our phones~ We tried breadfruit chips and local fruits~ all adding to our great experience. This tour is an excellent choice for getting a feel of the island from a local. We highly recommend using Fabrice when in Tahati with Eden Tours.

Highly recommend Fabrice! We feel like we could write a whole book report on Tahiti and everything we learned about the history, economics, and traditions. This is a great was to see the island and learn something new.

Great tour that incluses most of the Island’s attractions. Our guide provided a lot of information and gave extra services

Our tour guide was very flexible and took us to a number of interesting locations to get a good idea of the island and told us much about the history. Highly recommend Fabrice and his group of guides.

Amazing day spent with Antionette going around Tahiti. It’s a variety of different sites that will not disappoint.

Antoinette was very knowledgable, personal and passionate in explaining the history and current events on Tahiti making our experience very enjoyable and exceeding our expectations. We made many stops exploring the sites and attractions of Tahiti. We would recommend this wonderful tour and experience to anyone visiting Tahiti to learn about the culture and history Tahiti! Mahalo’s for a great experience!

I am glad I picked this private tour of the Tahiti island.My tour guide was Vetea,so kind,informative and spoke English perfectly. He speaks French and Tahitian languages fluently as well. He helped me with this tour to see an amazing beauty of Tahiti. I would recommend him and company he works for to all of my family and friends.

Fabrice was fantastic and intimately knowledgeable about his island. For 5 hours, he showed and explained expertly, the highlights of this fantastic island. His vehicle was clean. He brought fruit from a nice roadside vendor and we ate on a fantastic black sand beach with surfers all around. He was especially good at explaining the exploits of HMS Bounty crew. I would highly recommend Tahiti Eden Tours and Fabrice.

A wonderful trip with an excellent guide, Antoinete. We walked the entire island and our guide never stopped talking about the history and sights of the island. Although we know a lot about historical facts, Antoinete helped us to understand some new knowledge even more. We visited all the important places on the island and enjoyed the beautiful nature. This trip was a combination of fun (there were songs and jokes) and navigating through history. Thanks Antoinete once again!!

Four of us took the privaye tour around Tahiti Nui with Fabrice on our last day in Polynesia. The vehicle was very comfortable, and Fabrice was extremely knowledgeable about the relevant stops we made around the island. He was also a wealth of information about Polynesian history and social, economic, and political issues and Polynesias relationship with France. Fabrice speaks excellent English and French. Highly recommended.

Had the best time on the 1/2 day tour with Fabrice! He was very knowledgeable and so accommodating to my parents (70 & 77). He knows about everything! Surpassed our expectations! Would definitely recommend taking a tour with his company.

Our guide was warm, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to spend time with. He gave us a wonderful introduction to the flavors of Tahiti making the day even more memorable. Transportation was smooth and well-organized, and we appreciated never feeling hurried—each moment was enjoyed at a relaxed, comfortable pace.

Fabrice is fabulous, professional, informative and very personal. He shared local culture and history. We enjoyed very much.

Our guide was the best! Explained everything about Tahiti's history, culture, nature government, and way of life...she explained all in very clear, understandable, and interesting manner. She was a lot of fun too! We learned to love Tahiti from her positive attitude. Thank you for a wonderful experience and outstanding tour!!!

Fabrice ( Eden Tours) was an outstanding guide! He was articulate, knowledgeable and friendly! He really helped us obtain a greater understanding of Tahiti and its culture. We appreciate all the work and years of experience he puts into his tours! We thank him very much for his time with us today. Book with Eden Tours! You won’t regret it!

Very nice and great experience all around the island of Tahiti! We had the most wonderful, friendly, and knowledgeable guide.

Fabulous, fabulous experience! Vetea, driver and tour guide, was superb with interesting information and a great selection of scenic stops: luscious gardens, spectacular waterfalls, black sand beaches and scenic, panoramic overlooks! Picked us up right on time at the cruise terminal and dropped us off right at our hotel. Great knowledge of Tahiti and French Polynesia, the land, the people and the history. Very comfortable, new air-conditioned van with water and even fresh bananas along the way. Fabrice, in the office, kept us steadily advised via prompt emails and worked to accommodate our travel schedule. We hated to see this tour end! Most highly recommended!!!

Excellent tour. Fabrice was a great tour guide. Friendly, professional, and enjoyable to spend the time with. Don’t hesitate to book, you’ll get an ideal tour of the island with a very knowledgeable person.

My husband and I were on our honeymoon, and this private island tour in Tahiti with Sylvie ended up being one of the absolute highlights of our trip. From the moment she picked us up, Sylvie made us feel incredibly welcome—like we were longtime friends exploring the island together. When it unexpectedly started pouring rain and I didn’t have water shoes, Sylvie so kindly offered me hers. That small act of generosity truly says everything about her character—thoughtful, caring, and genuinely attentive. The pace of the tour was spot on. Sylvie even made an extra stop so we could grab some fresh local sushi before continuing, which was such a kind and thoughtful gesture that made our day feel even more personal and relaxed. The whole experience was the perfect mix of adventure and serenity, and Sylvie's warm personality made it all the more memorable.

Our guide Sylvie was friendly and very knowledgeable. This tour was more like spending a day with a friend. We came away with a new appreciation for Tahitian culture - ancient and modern.

Me and my wife had a great experience on our Tahiti tour with Sylvie. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure we both felt comfortable. Sylvie shared interesting facts about the island’s history and culture, and she took us to some beautiful spots we wouldn’t have found on our own. The pace was relaxed, and everything was well-organized. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a personal and enjoyable way to explore Tahiti!

Perfect event. Antoinette was FANTASTIC. We saw great sights, learned so much. The very best. The car was so comfortable. She even got snacks for us. I would urge anyone to take this tour.

Wonderful tour with Vetea! We chose this private tour since we were traveling with 2 young children and it was perfect. Vetea is the sweetest and was especially accommodating with the kids and kept things flexible and tailored to our interests and needs. Highly recommend this tour and guide!!

On this tour we were able to visit 6 different sites on the island. All of them beautiful. Our guide Sylvie was knowledgeable about each site. Sylvie allowed us to customize the tour a little to allow us to stop at a desired spot at the end. She offered us cold water and fresh fruit during the tour and she had umbrellas for us, as it was raining. Would definitely recommend anyone who loves nature to take this tour and ask for Sylvie.

Excellent selection of scenic stops and experiences. Good commentary as we drove along. Knowledge of the island is excellent.

Our tour guide was incredible. This was one of the highlights of our trip. She was very knowledgeable about the history and culture of beautiful Tahiti.

Our guide Antoinette was the most excellent guide we have ever met ! She was so friendly and kind and she explain to us a lot of interesting things in 5 hours.

What a great half day+ private tour of Tahiti with our guide, Vatea. We’re so glad we did this. Learned a lot about the island. Both official tour guide history and a lot about living on the island from a native. The tour was very chill, moving at our own pace. Vatea stopped at a store to grab some snacks, since we skipped breakfast. And after talking about loving fresh pineapple, he pulled off at a roadside stand he knew had fresh pineapple cut up and ready to go. It was fantastic. We would highly recommend the tour. It was a great way to get introduced to the island of Tahiti before moving on to the other, more talked about islands of French Polynesia. The van was super clean and very comfortable. Ice cold water, AC running, arrived on time. Couldn’t ask for more.

We booked this tour based on Tripadvisor and we were not disappointed. Fabrice was an excellent driver and host for the day. We had many questions and as he has lived all his life on the island he was able to tell us about the history, the culture and day to day living. We visited about 6 locations, all very interesting. It’s a scenic drive. We only did the larger island but they do a trip that combines the smaller one as well and takes in where the Olympic surfing took place. Fabrice says he uses one particular boat, very safe. Thanks again Fabrice for a wonderful day. Have you remembered the French word for mongrel dog?

After an on time pickup , Fabrice who owns the company, proceeded to take us on our adventure. Although it was raining, we visited every stop as promised, and there were umbrellas and raincoats available for our use. The car was comfortable and airconditioned. Fabrice was knowledgeable, amusing and answered all our questions. We would HIGHLY recommend this tour.
