Overview
Take a trip to Huahine on your French Polynesia Vacation
Huahine is made up of two islands, Big Huahine and Little Huahine which are connected by a channel a few hundred metres/yards wide. They are surrounded by a crystal clear coral reefed lagoon, a wonderful sight on a Tahiti vacation.
It is also known as the Garden Island due to its abundance of lush green tropical foliage and jungle-like scenery. It also offers lush forests, magnificent bays and white sand beaches and is home to many of French Polynesia’s most important archaeological sites. These islands, far less touristy than the major ones, remain authentically Polynesian and unchanged from the modern world on a Tahiti vacation.
One can discover untouched beaches, isolated caves, enchanted lagoons and traditional temples called Maraes. The local inhabitants live a relaxed and traditional lifestyle in the eight small quaint villages that are spread out around the island. Huahine is considered one of Polynesia’s best-kept secrets on Tahiti vacation packages.

The iconic Poisson Cru must be tried while in French Polynesia - it is raw fish marinated in lime juice and coconut milk - so good!
The Food - Polynesian cuisine is based upon using top quality fresh local produce and both savory and sweet dishes often flavored with vanilla or coconut milk. It's surprising to hear many of the perishable ingredients that go into your meals are flown in from various other international countries, and yet, can still taste so fresh and exquisite.
I love the stunning natural beauty, the wonderful people and the opportunity to experience this unique Polynesian culture
