He was friendly and very knowledgeable about the local flora and kept us on our schedule but allowed us time to walk at our slower pace. He shared insight on life in Tahiti.

Review of Tahiti’s private 5-hour circle island tour, with waterfalls, marae, gardens, black sand beaches, local stories, and flexible pickup.

“I can’t say enough how much we enjoyed our day with Max, our guide for our half day tour of Tahiti. He met us at the ferry terminal and took us on a wonderful half day tour around the island. His knowledge about the history, geology, geography and current and past events regarding French Polynesia was astounding. The stops we made at waterfalls, botanical gardens and other wonderful vistas were a perfect compliment. When the tour was done he dropped us off at the airport in time for our evening flight. I would highly recommend this tour for any one wanting a comprehensive tour of Tahiti.”
