Book it! You will have an amazing day! Such a great, informative tour of the island finishing up with the wonderful lunch at Henri’s home! His family is so welcoming and they are all involved in preparing a delicious lunch for their guests! They had a welcome cocktail and snacks to begin with and then a multi course meal including, chicken, ribs, grilled tuna, poisson cru, salads, coconut bread and local beer and non alcoholic beverages as well. The highlight was when the ladies made our beautiful flower crowns and the men made purses out of palm trees leaves! A perfect day! I would not hesitate to recommend Henri if you are visiting Huahine!

Magnificent day Henri shared with us for a day his love for his island, its traditions and its anecdotes. After a morning crisscrossing the island in a 4x4, we had lunch at his home, a magnificent meal prepared by his wife. We then spent the afternoon with his family discussing manual activities. Don’t hesitate to book to live this great experience.

Henri and Huahine, two essentials Doing the Tour D'Huahine with Henri is an experience to live! An endearing character as Polynesians know how to be, he tells us with heart and passion the history of Polynesia. We never tire of it, extraordinary panoramas, archaeological site and highlight of the day the meal at his home where the whole family participates, cooking, music and weaving activity. Warm and authentic moment, his wife cooks the typical dishes really well, the chicken fafa and the holy water curry that I only ate there, to name just a few. The children accompany the meal musically before weaving their bag or dish. Thank you Henri and all your family Ghislaine and Didier

Best land tour of Huahine. Do not miss! I have taken day tours all over the world and Henri’s tour is one of the best. Look no further for a great Huahine day tour. Highly recommend the full day as the lunch is fantastic in so many ways. Booking was easy as Henri is a wonderful communicator. Henri is informative, humorous, and has a wonderful family who share their home for lunch. Henri offers just the right balance of information yet will answer all questions if you wish for more details. We enjoyed his explanation of the marae (temples), the blue eyed eels, ancient fish traps, and various plant life. The highlight was lunch where Henri had us making the poussin cru. What an incredible spread of local Polynesian food. After lunch we made traditional hei (flower headdress) and wove a basket from coconut leaves. Truly a magical experience!

Awesome!!! What a superb half-day with Henry! He came to pick us up from the hotel and welcomed us with a wonderful crown of flowers freshly picked and prepared by his wife! And a flower for my husband. 🌺🌸🌺🌸 We toured the island, it was superb and what we particularly appreciated were Henry's personal anecdotes which really touched us and helped us to immerse ourselves in Polynesian culture! Thanks Henry!! 🥰
