Albert Transport

Because he felt he discovered paradise on earth he decided to move here as a farmer and fisherman, living exactly the way Polynesians do. He started work at a very young age, doing different jobs on Tahiti and Mo'orea until 1961. At that time, he had saved enough money to purchase a second hand “4L” which he used as a taxi. His hard work helped him acquire a better car later on, followed by an old bus. This started the story of Albert Transport, who received an International Award for Best Excursions in 1999. Albert then built a small hotel called "Motel Albert", still open today. All of Albert's extended family (12 children and 19 grand-children) now play a major role in the local economy. As they grew up, Albert's children have worked in various tourism activities: Taxi, scooter rentals, car rentals, excursions on land and on the sea, as well as in pearl farming.
