Description

Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

This delightful, half-day tour really mixes things up incorporating a four-wheel drive safari, and a short boat cruise, allowing you to fully explore this pretty Polynesian island.

This half day excursion around the "Garden Island" starts when you meet your friendly guide before boarding your adventurous touring vehicle.

Crossing the scenic bridge that connects the two halves of Huahine, you will then drive towards Fare pausing at the stunning Belvedere Lookout to enjoy magnificent views of your ship, the lagoon and beautiful Maroe Bay. Passing through Fare, the biggest village on the island, you will continue on to Maeva Marae to view the amazing, open-air stone temples that are considered to be the island's most sacred religious artifacts.

Near the Marae, you will also be able to take pictures of the 400-year-old Polynesian stone fishing traps that are still very much in use today. Mahi-mahi and tuna are the most widely eaten fish here. Driving past lush forests, you will then head to a local vanilla garden where you will view the climbing orchids that produce the aromatic vanilla pods, before enjoying a brief stop at a local stream to feed the blue-eyed, freshwater eels that live here.

Finally, board your small cruiser for a short visit to a pearl farm to see how this fascinating industry works, and view the exquisite pearls in their shells. Here, you will be able to buy some of the farm's products before enjoying a photo-stop at a tropical beach en route to your ship in Maroe Bay.
