Our History
Created in 2002, e-TAHITI travel is a true pioneer of the Polynesian online tourism. 9 months in the making before the launch of this great adventure: Travel license in the pocket, development of a brand-new web site, operating software and new partnerships with local suppliers…this was the journey of a lifetime for its founders.
Over the years, e-TAHITI travel developed its team and offerings with dynamism and innovation thanks to its alignment with the most advanced technologies: new website, new logo, new operating system, and an extended team to support travelers around the world.
Looking forward to designing exclusive and unique voyages…

Our sustainable development policy
« The environment is a priority »
French Polynesia is synonymous with paradise for all.
E-TAHITI travel, as a local travel agency, is concerned about the importance of protecting its environment. In order to limit its impact and protect the beauty of our islands, e-TAHITI travel has implemented various measures within its organization, including:
Recycling
Travel management (minimizing the impact of our local and international travel)
Installation of water fountains and limitation of plastic use in the office
Limitation of prints
Use of digital technologies
Energy saving policies (lighting, air conditioning)
Also aware of the impact the travelers may have on the local environment, e-TAHITI travel offers an eco-responsible plea to convey good practices before arrival.
At the same time, we have implemented a new welcome amenity with our branded “tote bags” which are very useful during the stay but also back home to avoid plastic in the day-to-day life.

« 100% local management »
e-TAHITI travel General Manager, Mrs Mareva ALINE BOETSCH is a Polynesian woman whose managerial values are centered on the human being and well-being at work.
The Polynesian culture is very present within e-TAHITI travel, with for example the respect of the “Mahana Pae” (our “Polynesian Friday” when Polynesian attire and flowers are welcome to brighten the day).
« An agency involved locally »
As a Tahitian travel agency, e-TAHITI travel works very closely with the local partners to ensure we create bespoke itineraries that are specifically designed to each traveller.
The agency works with all local and international hotel groups, but also promotes small hotels and Tahitian guesthouses to involve many actors and thus help the local development of these structures.
e-TAHITI travel is committed to selecting professionals involved in responsible tourism: guides, tour providers, accommodation, and restaurants. At any time, you can ask us about the actions taken by the partners you have selected (energy savings, local vegetable gardens, coral nurseries…).
The agency commits itself daily to local associations to actively participate in their eco-citizen initiatives such as charity walks, beach cleaning days…
Our Partnerships
Every year more than 100,000 marine mammals die because of plastic pollution in our oceans.
Since 2020, our agency is in partnership with the OCEANIA NGO, www.asso-oceania.com
OCEANIA is based in Moorea and works for the protection of cetaceans in the Polynesian waters.
What is OCEANIA ?
OCEANIA is a non-profit organization based on the island of Moorea in French Polynesia.
The association was founded in 2017 and aims to ensure the future of the cetaceans of French Polynesia, thanks to the studies carried out throughout the year, allowing to propose conservation measures.
“OCEANIA is intended to be a channel of communication between science and the public, to encourage local observers to become actively involved in the protection of the cetaceans of French Polynesia and thus become actors of biodiversity. »
The agency offers the travelers to actively participate in this preservation through an eco-participation of 500 xpf* (4.19 Euros) included in each trip.
This contribution is entirely donated to the Oceania association and contributes to the deployment of their main projects, such as “Vigie Sanctuaire” and “Fa’aora”.
Sanctuary Watch
The objective is to monitor cetacean populations within the Polynesian Sanctuary, and more specifically the humpback whale. Within the framework of this project, observations are made on board the ferries making the daily crossings between Tahiti and Moorea. The “Vigie Sanctuaire” (Sanctuary Watch) project is the first study program aimed at improving knowledge on the risk of collision in French Polynesia. This presence on board the ferries allows to acquire a better understanding of collision risks between the ships and large cetaceans in order to better anticipate and avoid them. (source: OCEANIA website)
In 2018: 556 hours of observation / 13,644 kms traveled / 96 potential cases of collision between ship and humpback whale avoided
