Summary: This was literally a perfect day. We did a lot in and around Papeete, and this was the favorite. Orama was so friendly, knowledgeable, and interactive. She seems to know everyone and everything. There we so many cultural insights, every day ins and outs, and little nuances she shared from the secret to making sure you got a coconut brioche or fish beignet, to the best time to avoid the foodie crowds. It was a great day!! We're so grateful we picked this! Thank you Orama!
