Hello, dear friends! My name is Maxim, and I invite you for amazing adventure in Tahiti, sacred pearl of South Seas. I would like you to get a taste of our gorgeous island, which is lost in the vast Pacific Ocean and surrounded with beautifully shaped volcanic Islands and coral atolls. You are about to discover the unique place where many people from simple sailors and seamen to celebrities and great artists have been found their hidden Paradise. I am a professional traveler and researcher. For more than 10 years, I was voyaging around Europe focusing mostly on extreme expeditions (mountains, hikes, kayaks, ski, etc. ). Then I started the journey of my dream - 20 years cruising boat circumnavigation across 30 countries of the world. My passion was to live in the places along the sailing route as much as I can to make deep studies of the Culture and the People. After 12 years of living and traveling in European, African, Caribbean and Latin American Countries, I moved to French Polynesia - Country of my dream. For 5 years, I was voyaging with a boat around in many special and remote places to study the local nature, the culture and the people. I am very passionate to share my knowledge with you - our lovely Tahiti visitors. Especially I focus on non-standard tours for those who would like to get immerse deeper in this beautiful Country, its Nature and its Story. I am graduated in neural sciences, and during my journeys I am always focusing on people's experience - personal, cultural, spiritual. . During my tour, in addition to geographical and historical information about French Polynesia and Tahiti, I use to uncover the secrets about local people's mentality, customs and internal life. I am very flexible and sensitive to your requests and particular interests and our time together is going to be an answer to your expectations and desires in discovering the hidden soul of this amazing Country and its people! Feel free to request any customized tour if your desires here are beyond of the offers in described programs! Welcome to Tahiti!
