Private Tahiti Island Discovery Tour – 5.5 Hours

Thank you so much, Liberino! I’m really happy to hear you enjoyed your day exploring Tahiti.
Mauruuru and warm wishes from Tahiti!

We chose a private tour so were able to circumnavigate the island and spend the amount of time we wanted at each planned stop.

Our guide, Maui, was outstanding. On time pickup, very personable and gave us great information on each sight on our tour itinerary.

Great tour to see the highlights in Tahiti

Dear Michelle,

Excellent tour guide Maui who picked us up from our Airbnb and dropped us back off, super knowledgable and loved telling us about Tahiti! He knew the best times to go to avoid crowds, and we saw all the sites - well worth our time and money and would highly recommend, especially if your time on the island is limited. Maui really went above and beyond to make our tour the best!

Fabulous Island Tour

Thank you so much Jennifer for your lovely review. 

We’re very happy to hear you enjoyed your time discovering Tahiti with our driver guide Maui.

The weather was definitely challenging that day with the heavy rains and road closures, so we really appreciate your understanding and flexibility. Maui always does his best to adapt the tour so our guests can still experience the beauty of the island in the safest and most enjoyable way possible.

It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to welcome you back to Tahiti again someday 🌺

Maui is very knowledgeable, speaks great English and passionate about the island of Tahiti. We had huge rains, that closed many of the roads. Maui was very accommodating and quick to make alterations to our island tour, so we were able to see beautiful Tahiti. 


Maui is very...

Hi Sandy,
Thank you so much for your kind review!
I’m really glad you chose to explore the island with us and got to experience the full circle of Tahiti — it truly makes a difference. Maui will be very happy to hear your kind words, he loves sharing the island and making the day enjoyable for everyone.
I’m also especially pleased to know everything felt easy and comfortable for you, from the pickup at the cruise terminal to adapting the tour to your needs — that’s very important to us.
Thank you again for your trust and recommendation. Wishing you all the best in your travels and a smooth recovery as well!
Warm regards,

Great tour.  Saw all the island and Māowi our guide was a lovely guy and gave us lots of interesting information.  We were on a cruise as d booked this independently and so glad we did as none of the cruise excursions went all the way round the island.  Beautiful island we so much to see.  Would highly recommend.  Picked up and dropped off at the cruise terminal and was so easy to locate guide. Also took into consideration my somewhat limited mobility due to needing a joint replacement! Excellent trip!

Great island trip!

Hi Connie,
Thank you so much for such a thoughtful and detailed review — it truly means a lot.
I’m really happy to hear how much you enjoyed your day with Maui. He has a very special way of sharing the island, and you described him perfectly. I’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to him.
And thank you as well for mentioning the communication and planning — I always do my best to make everything smooth and well-timed, so I really appreciate that.
It was a pleasure organizing this day for you. Hope to see you back in Tahiti one day!
Warm regards,
Artur

Originally we were going to rent a car and circle the island but, boy are we glad we didn't. Maui, our guide showed us things we never would have found by ourselves. He was so wonderful --highly thoughtful and warm. He made it more of a cultural experience and not merely a sightseeing tour by his conversation and pacing. He also brought plentiful cold fruit and water to keep us refreshed. Another factor that was good was the great communication from the tour provider, Arthur. He made great suggestions for our tour timing that cut down on crowds. Love, love this tour.

Better Than Driving Yourself 

Hi Maxim,

Warm regards,
Artur

Artur our tour guide was exceptional and the tour was very well done. Our van was clean, comfortable and most importantly, air conditioned!
Artur was very informative about the Polynesian culture and he loved showing us his lovely island of Tahiti.
Along with fresh water and hand towels he even provided us with a range of fresh fruits to snack on during our tour.
Top shelf tour. Highly recommended!

Great group tour of Papeete

Dear Denise,
Thank you so much for your kind words — I’m really happy you had such a great day exploring Tahiti with me. It means a lot to hear you enjoyed both the island and the stories behind it.


A very great way to see the best of the island,  The guide was a wealth of knowledge on everything,  Fantastic,

Best way. To see Tahiti in one day.

I’m genuinely honored that your Private Tahiti Island Discovery Tour stood out as the best experience of your Silverseas voyage, and even more so among all the beautiful places you’ve visited since Peru. Sharing Tahiti’s history, culture, and natural beauty with curious and appreciative guests like you is exactly why I love what I do.
I’m very glad you enjoyed the fresh local fruits and coconut milk — they’re a small but heartfelt way of offering a real taste of the island and its hospitality.
Thank you again for your kind words and trust. I wish you a wonderful continuation of your journey across Polynesia and beyond. If your travels ever bring you back to Tahiti, it would be a true pleasure to welcome you again.
Mauruuru roa 

Artur of PRIVATETOURS@SAFFRONROADTAHITI.COM
provided the single best tour experience we have had on our Silverseas voyage— excellent English— whole tour was thoughtful, historically fascinating and complemented with an on board selection of fresh mangos, pineapples and grapefruit— topped off by fresh coconut milk— if 6 stars were available I would select them —

Best tour we’ve had in Polynesia since leaving Peru SIX STARS
