Things to do in French Polynesia, French Polynesia: The Best Self-Guided Tours & Rentals
Tahiti and Bora Bora are the most well known French Polynesian islands, thanks to their picture-perfect beaches and romantic ambiance. Indeed, these islands are ideal for handholding, with their lush landscapes and mood-setting features like lagoons and grottos. The heart-shaped island of Mo’orea makes a wonderful base for divers and snorkelers eager to explore its surrounding barrier reef system. Feeding the massive, sacred eels of Huahine is a one-in-a-lifetime way to experience an important local ritual.

Alexis was wonderful and helped transport us from our dock to St.Regis resort for our overeager bungalow evening. We tendered in from our Windstar cruise, he picked us up (we arrived early and he was already there waiting), and he gave us local info as we took the trip to the other side of the island. When we come back, we’ll use him for snorkel trips to see manta rays. He’s very professional with a casual attitude. 10/10.

OK - so this was a little scary for me because it was a lot of riding in the dirt with lots of ruts and rocks and up and down hills. I had never done any mountain biking so I felt out of my element. My fiancé loved it - he is an avid cyclist so was totally in his element. We really enjoyed our time with Jeff. He is super knowledgable about the area. He was also very kind and considerate with my limitations and made sure that I felt safe and comfortable during the ride. The ride itself was just gorgeous - incredible views, lush foliage, lots of pineapple farms. We loved the scenery! Jeff took us to a great local restaurant was up at the top of the island where we had an authentic Polynesian Sunday meal. If you like getting off the beaten path end enjoying an authentic adventure then this is the trip for you.

We were actually referred to Hereiti by another vendor who was going to be on Holiday while we were in Moorea. We know the island pretty well, and had a good idea what we wanted to do and where we wanted to go. Hereiti is a delight, sweet, intelligent, highly skilled and a pleasure to spend time with. When we got to one location, there were numerous other vendors there, so we just left and went to another where we were alone. We returned later to the first location when it was no longer crowded. Hereiti shared personal stories, and made us feel like family. We highly recommend her services.

Everything about this excursion was awesome. I'm not going to go into the individual things because others have listed them ad nauseum, but I need to call out that lunch was incredible, sights were breathtaking, and Pierre is a good dude. It rained pretty hard a few times, but I thought that just added to the experience. Hiking to the waterfall through torrential rain only for it to clear up and shine bright sunshine on the falling water was awesome. Loved this whole experience!
