Go Tahiti Logo

Our Tahiti experience definitely exceeded our expectations. I found the islands to be almost like a fairy tale. The beauty was just indescribable. We are SO glad we picked this spot for our honeymoon. It was just perfect. The transfers were very organized. The people meeting us at the airport were extremely helpful and friendly. In Moorea we went to Tiki Village and were honestly very disappointed. We thought the Polynesian dance show was good but we didn’t care for the food and found the people working (living?) there to be rude. We thought for the money it wasn’t worth it and liked the hotel food much better. We also did a safari tour in Moorea which we LOVED. We thought it was a great way to see a lot of beautiful sites. Our tour guide was informative and funny. We really enjoyed this experience. In Bora Bora we did a shark/sting ray feeding boat trip- we loved this! It was a lot of fun. We also rented a buggy and drove around the island which was a great time. We are SO glad we did the breakfast/dinner package in Moorea. The food at the Pearl resort was amazing! We loved every bite. It was definitely worth the money to have those meals included. We were so impressed with the amount of food that was offered at the breakfast buffet and the dinners were top notch. We definitely feel like it was money well spent. In Bora Bora we were glad we got the breakfast package as well. It was neat to take the boat off our motu and try out different restaurants for dinner so I’m glad we didn’t include dinner here. The did find the food to be very expensive in Bora Bora though. The garden bungalow with plunge pool was perfect in Moorea. The room was great- clean, spacious, and quiet. We really enjoyed having our own little backyard and plunge pool. The Pearl resort in Moorea may have been a little small compared to the other resorts in Moorea but we felt that was to our advantage. We never had to fight for beach/pool chairs and towels and water sporting equipment were always available and the food was so delicious. We both got massages at the spa which was a highlight. In Bora Bora the Pearl was just unbelievable. The service we got here was the best! The staff was SO friendly and so helpful. We didn’t experience any of the issues with the staff here that we did in Moorea. I think this resort was supreme. We stayed in a beach bungalow for 3 nights. It was very different than the garden bungalow in Moorea. It was more rustic. We liked it though. It was a great experience. The staff did an exceptional job keeping it clean for us! The overwater bungalow experience was unlike any other I’ve ever had before. We had bungalow # 18. I would definitely recommend that one to others. It was perfect. We had an unobstructed view of the mountain. It was very quiet despite what people have told us about over water bungalows. We did not feel like we were too close to other bungalows. The only thing we heard was the ocean … which we of course enjoyed. Of course we would recommend French Polynesia to others! I am feeling like it’s the most beautiful place on earth… or that we’ve seen so far.

The restaurants in the hotels were wonderful, especially the deserts! The islands were beautiful. The excursions I took were great! I really liked the 4X4 safari tours that I went on! The Tahiti Le Meridian is amazing! The settings of the Relais Mahana and Les Tipaniers were incredible. It had not occurred to me that the bungalows wouldn't be air conditioned, but the fans made it comfortable, and the views couldn't have been better!

First of all I would like to thank you for a perfect, extraordinary and exotic vacation, besides the fact that we were on vacation; three things made this trip truly memorable (in random order); 1. The magnificent and natural (exotic) beauty of the Islands 2. The perfect weather – we had sun-sun-sun every day 3. The problem free and professional execution of our (your) itinerary Upon on arriving I was a little bit excited (worried) about how all the transfer, voucher, hotel etc. would work out……but everything went perfect from arriving at the airport to the drop of at the Sheraton, truly professional and completely without any problems or issues – nice and helpful people all the way. While on the beach in Moorea, my wife went back to the room, and came back to the beach announcing, that there was half a bottle of champagne on ice, a bottle of wine and also a pareo and a t-shirt……..with nice greeting cards and flowers…….we were very surprised and enjoyed this gesture very much…….thank you. All three islands met (and excided) our expectations, I think we liked Moorea the most, even though it was not as stunningly beautiful as Bora Bora – on all three Islands we rented a car and drove around the Islands, this is a great way of getting some local folklore and try some special beaches, snorkeling sites etc. The hotels were great, really nice locations and perfect service, especially the nautical activities desk on Moorea, the restaurant on Bora Bora and the bar on Moorea…..enjoyed the BBQ on the beach in Moorea. The motu transfer on Bora Bora (Intercontinental) is really great, because the “transfer guy” lives on the motu. This allows you to go without any predetermined pick up time etc., and the motu is really great. The motu transfer offered on Moorea (Intercontinental) is also good but not as secluded and exclusive as the one offered on Bora Bora, but the snorkeling is beyond belief. We did the “Shark Boy” on Bora Bora and this is highly recommended, excellent guides and they record the trip with pro-underwater video and “offer” the video in DVD format later the same day…….great. Otherwise I would highly recommend renting bikes, it is easy to go around and discover the neighborhood, and on Bora Bora it is easy to drive by bike to Vaitape. Also the use the free kayak is highly recommended. Once again thank you for all you assistance and service, I hope to be able to make use of your service again someday.

We worked with Tahiti Travel Planners and we couldn't be more pleased. Perhaps the greatest compliment to Tahiti Travel Planners is this: "everything went according to plan." The only surprises were pleasant surprises like how beautiful the lagoon was or how delightful the accommodations were. Our specialist was thorough in her explanations and suggestions, patient with our every request of ours and extremely knowledgeable about French Polynesia. We recommend Barbara and the good people at Tahiti Travel Planners without reservation or qualification.

We loved the isolation and detail oriented staff at the Sofitel Motu. The evenings were great and scenic and our favorite time of the day. The only dislike we had was we were at the mercy of boat and van shuttles for transportation, but that we just like to be more mobile and self sufficient. Everything met our expectations. It was beautiful top to bottom. Be aware lizards may be living with you in the rafters of your bungalow. We had 2-5 at any given time, but they were harmless. I cannot express enough how professional everyone was on the phone, via e-mail, and in person. We were picked up promptly and responded to quickly with every concern/question.
