She is fluent in English 06-20 SV Cream Puff Excellent personalized tour covering the entire island of Tahiti. Corinne is very knowledgeable and loves to share her vast knowledge in a very personable tour. The tour is maximum of 4 people because that is how many fit into her car. Corrine is an absolutely lovely lady born in Tahiti. She has good humor and speaks excellent English. Corinne will tailor the trip to your needs. Some of the highlights: waterfalls, a cave, gardens, ancient temple, Polynesian stories, different plants and their medicinal uses, beaches and more. The tour is relaxing and not rushed. Our tour started at 8:00am and ended around 5:30pm (we were back around 6:00pm ). Corinne included a bottle of water for each of us. Lunch was at a local restaurant and was fabulous and reasonably priced (not included in fee). Part of the fun was that Corinne added a few personal stops along the way; a veggie stand that she likes, a chocolate shop and a local artisan trinket store near the restaurant. If you book directly through Corinne the fee is a bit lower than booking through other sources.
