The guide Julien is very friendly and smiling. He offered us local fruits, we feasted. We sailed from the port to the river Faaroa and then to the home of the perliculturist. We discovered the river Faaroa around which there are beautiful flowers and plantations.

This a tour of 12 people with a very knowledgeable tour guide Unfortunately we ride right into a give rain storm. We did get too ride up the river and see the pearl farm, but the rain put a damper on the tour. We had fresh fruit and drinks after the petal farm Our tour guide tried his hardest to keep us entertained and informed. He even have his jacket to over of the guests. The other boat ii this tour had rain jackets for everyone. Hopefully the company will get them for this boat as well. .I would love to do this your again, when it isn't raining

Rained for much of the tour making it hard to rate. Guide spoke reasonable English but might have been better prepared for the rain. River tour and pearl farm were interesting but would have liked to have seen the botanical garden.

Great tour, although we no longer had a dry spot sm body, as it rained after about 1 hour and did not stop until the end of the tour. The guide explained everything well and the river (little mangroves) was just great. Pearl cultivation was familiar, but beautiful pearls with gold and silver. We bought something.

Total exposure to heavy rain that left us completely soaked, might as well have just pulled us behind the boat. So much rain and wind that we huddled into a ball and totally missed any scenery. The pearl harvest demo was quick and crowded. The 2nd boat in the tour had rain jackets and paid the same price as we did. The jackets would have helped immensely with the wind and rain. Felt like a wasted trip unable to see what we had hoped to see. Boat captain was apologetic but that didn't really fix anything.

Great boat trip to the Pearl Farm and up the river on Raiatea. Had a great demonstration of the cultured pearl process at the pearl farm and a wonderful trip up the river with a stop for fresh fruit refreshments.

Wonderful day exploring the only river in Raiatea with a delightful guide, Kenso! So enjoyed having all the plants, flowers, fruits and trees explained to us. Boat was very nice and we had a lovely snack at a beautiful cove where a sting ray greeted us! A true highlight of our trip!

We had a remarkable time! The ride up the river was beautiful, peaceful, calm, and we were told about the different plants and fruits and how they’re used in the culture. We also saw a por of dolphins that we watched for a bit on the way to the pearl demonstration. The demonstration was quite interesting and after that we were given fresh fruit and juice and water. Would highly recommend it!
