Visited many interesting places along the west and south coast. My favourite was the Water Gardens of Vaipahi but we saw plenty of beautiful sights and had a visit to the Tahiti coconut oil factory. Tracey is an excellent communicator and throughout the tour gave so much information on the history and culture of Tahiti. She also recommended other places to visit, one which I took up with a trip to Mooroa and hire of a e-bike. Well worth the money.”
