3.Crossing Over Tahiti Island Safari 4×4

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 307 reviews · from $137

Spend about eight hours crossing Tahiti through the Papenoo Valley in a 4WD vehicle. You will pass rainforest, streams, waterfalls, mountain views, and archaeological sites, with time for an optional swim and lunch at your own cost. Guides such as Noah, Eric, Hotu, Sydney, and Pito have led this route, though the guide varies.

“Reading other reviews, I was skeptical but we loved this experience! Our driver Noah was the very best, very knowledgeable, personable and caring. Lunch was a reasonable 30-40 minutes and there was a great view. The views driving through the center were so beautiful! Noah took the top off so we had optimal viewing from the vehicle for the whole drive. Standing makes the ride much smoother, just a tip. Would DEFINITELY recommend this excursion.”

4.Bora Bora by Land and Sea: 4WD Safari and Snorkel

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 80 reviews · 6 hours · from $252

Spend six hours touring Bora Bora with an English or French-speaking guide, including a 20-mile 4WD circuit, local craft stops, lunch, and a lagoon cruise. Guide Teva has earned special praise for his friendly island tour. Snorkel with stingrays, black-tip reef sharks, and tropical fish while respecting the coral and marine life.

“La gita in mare è stata davvero emozionante, abbiamo visto una manta, le razze, gli squali e il giardino di corallo è spettacolare. Unica pecca forse è stato un po’ frettoloso (ma la giornata di vento forse rendeva difficile alcuni spostamenti). Il tour a terra ci è piaciuto tantissimo, la nostra guida Teva, era gentilissima, ci ha portato sulla cima, a vedere molti alberi da frutto, abbiamo assistito (e comprato) alla creazione dei parei e poi siamo andati sulla cima opposta dell’isola. Il pranzo al ristorante è stato ottimo (forse anche qui la cameriera era un po’ frettolosa nonostante ci fosse abbastanza tempo per fare tutto).”
