The Garden Isle of Huahine (actually 2 islands in one lagoon) is one of the least explored of the Society Islands and one of the last touched by tourism. It is an ideal place to experience traditional Polynesian lifestyles. It is home to many of Polynesia’s most important archaeological sites. Explore fascinating artifacts, the former Royal village, restored maraes or temples, and in the sacred lake see 300-year-old fishing traps still in use. Visit the sleepy village of Parea where the happy peaceful life has remained unchanged for generations. Try surfing at Avamoa Pass - the best waves in Polynesia, horseback riding through mountain trails, visiting a vanilla plantation, banana grove or taro field, exploring the mountains or soaking in the lagoons. Take several days to explore Huahine and then take some time to explore the deep bays, tranquil lagoons or escape to a motu. Visit the main village of Fare with it’s picturesque port that comes alive on market and boat days. Join in as locals catch up with friends, sell their wares and buy goods from the incoming supply ships. This island is a perfect complement to Moorea and Bora Bora.
