- lorisG5305GM0 contributionsSo much info and scenery on a tight scheduleOMG! Tracie was amazing! We saw so much in 6 hours. Spoke to locals. And the island is just amazingly gorgeous. We took a boat ride out to the huge waves where they had the Olympics. Scary but worth it. Teahupoo Thank you Tracie. We had an amazing time and learned a lot. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting the island. It’s a gorgeous island. Down to earth respectful proud people. Thanks again Lori and JudyWritten November 27, 2024

- D433KYdeborahp0 contributionsGreat tour of TahitiWe had a wonderful day with Dominic! He told us about the history of the island, customs, plants, and animals. His lively commentary made the day enjoyable as we drove from on location to the next. We never felt rushed, ample time was allocated but not “too much”. The restaurant was great, right on beach with sand floors and wide open ocean views. The food was delicious!!! I would highly recommend this excursion.Written November 16, 2024
- brianbZ2032NU0 contributionsGreat half day tourRonnie was great! He had lots of information about the islands history, culture, and its people. His personality was friendly and immediately made you feel like you were friends. We spent a wonderful morning with him on the half day west tour but wished we could have spent a whole day with him learning and seeing so much more. MaururuWritten November 10, 2024
- Diana H0 contributionsGreat tour of the westside of Tahiti.Ronnie was our tour guide for the 4-5 hour tour of the west side of the island. We enjoyed our stops. Ronnie was very knowledgable about the islands. We had wind, rain, and sun. Great day. Thanks Ronnie.Written November 7, 2024
- 31delbertg0 contributionsNo refundsWhen they say “no refunds”, they mean it. We tested positive for COVID-19 the day before our tour. We canceled our tour. They denied a request for a refund.Written November 4, 2024
- GoPlaces3193840 contributionsexcellent serviceWe had an excellent day with our guide Trasey. She showed and explained all interesting places of the Island. Then she brought us to a very good restaurant for lunch. She was very helpful when we was waiting for the departure of our plane( 23:55) and let us spend the time in a nice restaurant. finally she took us to the airport in the night as a voluntary service. We was very pleased, because the waitling possiblities at the airport are not very pleasant. Many thanksWritten November 2, 2024
- Trail144206554350 contributionsDon't Miss IT!!!!!Wow Wow Wow. This was a great tour with Tracey. Such a beautiful side of this island. Great tour with thoughtful commentary and great site.

- Explorer466079181200 contributionsAuthentic Tahiti!What an amazing way to experience the true Tahiti!! Tracey’s passion for her adopted home shone through in the sites she chose and the interactions with her many friends on the island. The West Coast tour was a great way to see the authentic Tahitian lifestyle and the beautiful scenery of this special island. Tracey’s guidance was informative, relevant and fun. The tour passed quickly and comfortably in her air conditioned van and she was incredibly attentive to the needs of everyone on board. If you want to have a truly enjoyable experience and see Tahiti beyond the capital city, Unique Tahiti and Tracey are the way to go. Thank you Tracey!Written October 30, 2024
- melissaaU8833HM0 contributionsEast Coast tourPicked up at the port. Red Mercedes mini van. Parked inside the port carpark - don’t go out to the street at Papeete. Awesome tour by Rai, our guide of the east coast. Tahiti is spectacular. Unique Tahiti provide comfy vans, guided commentary and a bottle of water. Thank you Rai and Tracey. ………. Melissa from Australia’s Gold CoastWritten October 13, 2024
- Wayne G0 contributionsGreat day in TahitiRaiarii was a great guide on this 5hr tour of the west coast. He was very knowledgeable about Tahiti, it’s history, and especially it’s trees and plants. The van was very spacious and comfortable (good AC!) All in all it was a great way to experience Tahiti. WayneWritten October 9, 2024
- Bagemous0 contributionsA Day to see highlights of TahitiWe recently had a two night stay in Tahiti, with nothing booked for our stay other than a hotel. We found Tracey’s information on line, and did the full day west Coast tour so as to see some of Tahiti. She picked us up at our hotel. It was a wonderful day. Some of the highlights were stopping at a church to hear some beautiful singing by some of the congregation ( we were there on Sunday), stopping at a small restaurant on the water for water, and some delicious juice, seeing some freshwater eels swimming around, taking a boat out to where the Olympic swimming took place. Lunch was delicious, a small restaurant right on the water. I had a grilled shrimp dish that was one of my best meals in French Polynesia. Tracey told us a lot about life in Tahiti, as an ex-pat who has lived there for a long time. She is a lovely and gracious hostess!Written October 8, 2024
- Thackabe0 contributionsGreat Tahiti TourOutstanding tour. Roni was very knowledgeable and passionate about the history of the island. Great stops and great stories. Thanks again.Written October 3, 2024
- 327sharrig0 contributionsWonderful tour of Tahiti with exceptional service!Tracy from Unique Tahiti provided exceptional service, making our experience unforgettable. Our tour guide and driver, Dominique, growing up in Tahiti, impressed us with his deep knowledge of the island’s rich culture and hidden gems. He went above and beyond to ensure every moment of our tour was enjoyable. Tracy even arranged a dinner reservation at a lovely Marina Restaurant and airport transfer at the end of our day, adding the perfect touch to our last moments in Tahiti. This was, without a doubt, one of the most seamless and enjoyable tour experiences we've ever had!Written September 21, 2024

We had the most amazing time with our guide Tracey! When I got in contact with Tracey I shared our availability with her as we just had half a day on Tahiti, but wanted to make the most out of it. Tracey got back to me with a detailed plan of pick up time, itinerary and even the option to get the Covid test done for our flight back to the US. Luckily we were able to do the test prior pick up at the airport, so we had more time for the tour. Tracey showed us the west coast of big Tahiti while also explaining some of its history. We saw the beautiful black sand beaches, sacred places, botanical gardens and a wonderful cave.
Tracey even got us some fresh fruit from a street stand, which made my husband the happiest and the world. The mango and pineapple was to die for. Before heading back to the airport Tracey dropped us off at a nice restaurant with sunset view.
Overall the private tour with Tracey was the best thing we could do during our layover there and I would recommend everyone to use your time wisely and explore the island (with her). When we go back to French Polynesia, we will definitely contact her again!

So happy to hear you enjoyed your time on the private island tour of Tahiti with me - so much more interesting than sitting at the airport. Hopefully we will get to meet on Tahiti again one day

This was the second time I booked a tour with Unique Tahiti in the past 5 years. They are the best & there is no one else I would book a tour with when in Papeete. This time Dominic was our tour guide. He was with us from 9AM until 5PM. He was so knowledgeable and friendly. He never hesitated to take as many photos of me as I wanted. We had a nice long lunch at a local restaurant near where the surfers hang out. I had an incredible seafood combo plate! We got off the Windstar Star Breeze cruise and booked an all day tour before we had to head to the airport. He took us all over the island to so many spots including the black sand beach where we saw spinner dolphins frolicking & jumping in the ocean, a beautiful water hole, a waterfall, a belvedere outlook in the countryside near dairy farms, etc. He even helped us stop at a local grocery store where we were able to buy affordable vanilla products and local goodies. It was an incredible day in paradise!

By far this was one of the best guided tours my wife and I have ever taken part of. Tracy went above and beyond what we expected and truly made this tour magical. She was incredibly knowledgeable about Tahitian culture, lore and sites and also shared her personal experiences which made this even more memorable. I cannot recommend Tahiti enough and more importantly if you make it to Tahiti take a tour with Tracy and Unique Tahiti and I promise you will not be disappointed.

Tracey was fantastic. Booking A+, Communication A+, Pick up A+, Informational A+, Funny A+. Tracey seemed to know every one on the island whether they were on the roadside selling fish, sales people at the coconut oil shop or dads with their kids playing in the park.
She had a story and thoughts on every subject that was enlightening and entertaining. Tracey was incredibly flexible as we did a private tour with 2 couples. She enjoyed answering all of our curiosities and showing us her home.
After the tour she sent us follow up emails with names and numbers of additional guides and we took an amazing tour to the interior of the island to climb through and explore the lava tubes with our new friend Mato!
She made out time in Tahiti unforgettable!
Thanks a ton Tracey

This tour is a must! You will see hidden gems that you would not normally see just visiting Papeete.
Tracey was a wonderful and fun tour guide! She took us to see some of Tahiti’s little known hidden gems as well as some of the usual must sees. The van was comfortable and cool and we felt safe at all times. Tracey’s knowledge of local culture was vast and we enjoyed seeing local artisans at work.

Our family of 5 enjoyed a wonderful half-day tour of the East Coast with Tracey and Nelly on our first day in Tahiti, which was a perfect introduction to the islands. She explained the history and customized our tour to our liking. We found a yummy acai bowl/avocado toast place on the water for breakfast, visited the Royal Palace, a gorgeous waterfall, sampled local fruit, met several local craftspeople and river eels and visited a beautiful bay with the blowhole. Overall, it was a wonderful and unique day with the delightful and fun Tracey in her lovely Mercedes van. If you are traveling to Tahiti, booking a tour with UniqueTahiti is a must!

On our first visit to Tahiti in 2019, we took Unique Tahiti’s West Coast tour. We loved it so much, we booked the East Coast tour when we returned three years later. Because of concerns around Covid, we opted to take a private tour. Tracey picked us up at our hotel in an air-conditioned van. She answered every question we had (and we had many!) and shared information only a long-term resident of Tahiti would know. In fact, many locals recognized her! Tracey has lived in multiple countries, giving her a unique perspective of Tahiti. When traveling, it’s challenging to get photos of my wife and I together, so we especially loved how Tracey took photos of us and then shared them with us via Google Drive. We loved every minute of our tour and will absolutely book Unique Tahiti Tours again when we return.

We had an afternoon to spend on Tahiti and wanted to see as many venues as we could. We wished to get a true feel for Tahitian culture and beauty. Tracy has been living on the island for decades and has wonderful contacts throughout Tahiti. We were able to visit a Tahitian family in their traditional home as well as visit a family-owned business that creates Tahitian fabrics by hand. We went to historical sites, waterfalls, and beaches…all within 4 1/2 hours! It was a phenomenal experience, in a very well appointed, air-conditioned minivan. Tracy was incredibly knowledgeable and accommodating. Would highly recommend this tour.

It was a pleasure to spend a day with Tracey. She is very knowledgeable, has a great sense of humor, is a hard worker, and is very passionate about her adopted country. It was a great way to see Tahiti, both the very popular areas as well as those less travelled.

We had a great tour with our tour guide-Raiarii. Raiarii customized our all-day tour for us enabling us to see the entire island. It included cultural, site seeing, and botanical stops. We also had a great lunch stop on the beach overlooking the beautiful Polynesian water. We even managed some incredible whale watching.
We highly recommend "Tour Tahiti in Private" and Raiarii as a personal guide

We are a party of two arriving the night of Oct 9th. Looking to book a tour for the day on Sunday, October 10th, being picked up at our hotel - The Tahiti Airport Hotel-maybe between 8-9 am, maybe grab a quick breakfast, have a tour, returning to the pier, maybe for a late lunch on our own - unless we eat sooner - before the 4:40 ferry to Moorea. Would you be able to accommodate us? If you get this twice I apologize - I wasn't sure if the other one went through
