Discover the Blue Pearl on a Private Tour in Tahiti, French Polynesia
You’ll enjoy a private, customizable tour in Tahiti where you choose the language from the six I speak and the itinerary that suits your interests - shopping for Tahitian pearls, colorful pareos and local crafts, or sightseeing around the island’s highlights. The standard route departs from the Belvedere (one hour), but I recommend a three-hour option to explore the center of the island and see more: visit the Agricultural or Tropical garden high school with tastings, stroll through pineapple plantations, discover a traditional marae, enjoy samples at a fruit juice factory and distillery, and admire scenic views of Cook Bay and Opunohu Bay. You’ll also stop in Maharepa village for shopping and an explanation of the pearl trade; you can add more visiting time for 9900 XPF / 90 USD / 85 € per additional hour. For guest reviews, see my TripAdvisor page “Scenic Shopping Tour -Pure Passion.”

Summary:
We highly recommend Spirou for her amazing tour of Moorea. We travel a fair amount and this was one of our most favorite tours. Spirou took us around the entire island. She gave us the history and also future for the island. We stopped at all the beautiful sites. She took our picture so we have nice pictures of us together with the beautiful mountains and ocean in the background. We initially wanted to do a food tour but it was booked. All turned out great in the end as we feel we received a more rounded tour with the Lady in Blue. Spirou was flexible with the areas to stop which we really appreciated. This is a great tour for those with mobile impairment. I’m not able to walk long distances, nor climb and this was perfect for me. This was an amazing day on an amazing island.

Summary:
Whether she drives you around in her van or if she drives your car, or she points the way, be smart and start your tour with the Blue Lady. We had a wonderful four hours learning all about Moorea and its history. We would DEFINITELY do it again!

Summary:
The lady in blue came and pick us up at our hotel with her very blue decorated car. She is very flexible and kind. We did this tour on Christmas when almost everything is closed. We had a whole island tour of Moorea, she introduced us to many plants, helped us took family photos. Due to the holiday, we were unable to go to the pineapple wine and pearl shop that same day, so she is kind enough to come back early the next morning to take us to those places. We did make a purchase in both places though there wasn't any pressure. But it's very true that the pearls in Bora Bora is much more expensive than here in Moorea.
I would definitely recommend this to my family and friends.
