Huahine

Huahine: An authentic natural paradise

Huahine, known as the "authentic heart of Polynesia", enchants visitors with its natural beauty and tranquil atmosphere. The island actually consists of two main islands, Huahine Nui and Huahine Iti, which are connected by a narrow isthmus and form a unique shape reminiscent of a reclining woman.

Marae Anini: This archaeological site is a window into the past where ancient Polynesian cultures worshipped their deities. The well-preserved marae offers a fascinating insight into the spiritual customs of the islanders.

Faie: The small village of Faie is famous for its blue eels with glowing eyes that live in a small stream nearby - a natural sight and a favourite photo opportunity.

The coasts of Huahine are a dream destination for sailors looking for an authentic experience. The surrounding waters offer sheltered anchorages and the opportunity to explore unspoilt bays.

Avea Bay: The picturesque Avea Bay on Huahine Iti, with its clear waters and soft sandy beaches, is particularly popular with sailors for swimming, snorkelling and relaxing.

Huahine's restaurants and small snack bars offer a wide selection of local specialities. Particularly recommended are poisson cru, a dish of raw fish marinated in coconut milk, or the traditional dish poulet fafa, chicken with taro leaves.

To experience the local culture, visitors should not miss the annual Heiva Festival with dancing, singing and sports competitions.

The Coral Garden of Huahine

A snorkelling trip to Huahine's Coral Garden reveals a fascinating underwater world. Visitors can admire a variety of corals, tropical fish and perhaps even sea turtles.

Society for the Conservation of Huahine

The organisation is committed to preserving the natural habitats on the island, offers guided tours and provides information about the importance of nature conservation.

 

Huahine is a place where time ticks slower and nature still plays the leading role. It is the perfect destination for yacht charter clients who want to experience authentic Polynesian life and enjoy the marvellous nature above and below the water. With its rich cultural offerings and breathtaking scenery, Huahine is an island that touches the soul and revitalises the spirit.
