Personalized island tours:
Would you like to explore Tahiti at your own pace, with an authentic, personalized touch? If you have a rental car or your own vehicle, I offer a private guide service to accompany you along the way.

The itinerary is entirely adaptable to the length of your stay and your interests. For example, we can visit must-see sites such as Pointe Vénus, the Fa'aruma'i waterfall or the Vaipahi water garden.

My role is to offer you an enriching experience by sharing anecdotes, fascinating stories and little-known facts about the places we visit.

Together, we can make your exploration of Tahiti unique and memorable, with the flexibility to make the most of every moment.

Don't hesitate to contact me to organize your customized tour!

Options such as a visit to James Norman Hall's house, a boat trip to the famous Teahupo'o wave or a visit to the Museum of Tahiti and the Islands can also be added.
