My name is Fabrice and I have spent my entire childhood on the island of Tahiti. My Polynesian Roots Raised by my grandparents, I learned to cherish the fundamental values of Polynesian culture. They taught me the importance of "doing what you can with what you have," a life lesson that has guided me over the years. Among the skills I acquired, learning to fish and cook with products from our garden were formative experiences. My Military Career At the age of 19, after my baccalaureate, I decided to join the French Air Force. It was a unique opportunity to serve my country while staying on my native island, an experience that allowed me to develop a strong sense of duty and discipline. My Passion for Tourism At the age of 39 after retiring the French air force where I served 20 years, I embraced a new vocation by becoming a tour guide. My love for human connection and my passion for travel made me realize the hidden treasures of Tahiti, which I enjoy sharing with visitors. My Passions I am passionate about marathon running, an activity that helps me stay in shape while discovering new landscapes, and recreational aviation, where I can fly over the island, offering a unique perspective on my homeland. I'm super excited to spend the day with you. This tour is a unique opportunity for you to explore our island, so please don't hesitate to ask if you wish to do something different ,we can customize it according to your desires.

Having spent my childhood on this island, I have a deep connection with Tahiti and much to share with you. On this circle island tour, we'll have the opportunity to explore the large island of Tahiti under two distinct facets: The East Coast: This is the wild side of the island, with its black sand beaches resulting from its volcanic origins, and its steep, lush mountains offering breathtaking views. The West Coast: Here, the island reveals itself in a more urbanized aspect, with public beaches where you can relax, lively shops, and the port pulsating with the rhythm of island life. At each stop, I will share not only the history of these places but also personal anecdotes. We'll talk about the history of the island. We'll explore Polynesian culture, its traditions, dances, We'll discuss the local economy, main industries. Finally, we'll address Tahiti's politics, its challenges, and its developments. This tour is an invitation to experience Tahiti through my eyes and heart.
