4.Moorea Street Food Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 410 reviews · from $73

Taste Moorea’s local food with a native chef, visiting snack shops, fruit stands, and scenic stops on a relaxed half-day tour.

“Our guide, "H", is the owner of the tour and is extremely knowledgeable. He grew up in Moorea but has travelled extensively. He was actually the chef for the 2024 USA Olympic Surfing team! There were about 13 different tastings that gave a broad range of different flavors and types of food. We try and do a food tour wherever we go. Learning about the culture and history of each location is half the fun. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone wanting to learn about Moorea and the small shops and restaurants on the island and to be able to taste such amazing food.”
