This was one of our favorite experiences in Tahiti. The scenery was beautiful, but what made the tour special were the stories, legends, and cultural insights shared throughout the day. We left with a much deeper appreciation for the island and its people.

A cause d'éboulements survenus quelques semaines plus tôt, nous n'avons pas pu aller au lac. Mais le reste de l'excursion était conforme à la description et notre guide était très gentil, bienveillant et très intéressant à écouter.
