About Us

IA ORANA!  I'm Lois the Chief Exploration Officer at Tahiti Adventures. I am passionate about creating bespoke itineraries to off the beaten path destinations. Being raised in Tahiti & New Zealand instilled in me a sense of adventure and a respect of nature from a young age. Hiking in the mountains of the sacred island of Raiatea, creating a bamboo raft to paddle in the turquoise lagoon, having family gatherings on a remote motu, attempting to catch puffer fish with our bare hands, and learning the graceful art of Tahitian dancing are some examples of a childhood rich in life changing experiences. These and many other adventures, fueled my passion for travel and sustainable tourism.Tahiti Adventures was born out of a desire to promote authentic cultural experiences while supporting small Tahitian businesses. That is our mission.
I'm a certified Tahiti Specialist,  2021 Top Travel Specialist, Condé Nast Traveler, member of ASTA and ATTA.

Born and raised on the exotic islands of Tahiti and raised on Makemo and Taenga, Mairenui hails from a beautiful family of artists, athletes and owner of pearl farms. Dancing “ori” Tahiti is her  passion along with sports. Music and dance were the start of her love for her Polynesian Culture. The wonderful voices of her father and relatives singing everywhere, the sweet melody of the ukulele, the percussions of the “to’ere” and the drumming of the “pahu” were all daily parts of her childhood in the islands and she was always fascinated at the annual Heiva festival. Mairenui has a degree in Tourism, she attended Brigham Young University Hawaii where she performed at the Polynesian Cultural Center in the Tahitian and Marquesas villages under the management of her uncle Raymond.
