WHAT YOU VISIT
Robert Louis Stevenson House
The 127-hectare (313-acre) estate was built by the 19th century writer in 1890. Famed for such classics as "Treasure Island" and "Kidnapped," Stevenson lived here with his family during the last five years of his life. Now a museum filled with authentic period furnishings, its well-maintained gardens feature a stunning collection of tropical plants and flowers. During your visit you'll be treated to cultural entertainment and a kava ceremony (kava, a non-alcoholic drink, is one of the most common ceremonial and social customs in the islands).
Maketi Fou
This spacious 24-hour covered market boasts food stalls that sell a variety of local fruits like pawpaws and sweet little ladyfinger bananas, vegetables such as taro and breadfruit, and beautiful native flowers.
PHOTO OPPORTUNITIES
