Te Marquesas Islands Hanavave, Fatu Hiva


Jungle greenery, jagged volcanic peaks, sheer rock curtains, and splashing surf make Fatu Hiva one of the most wildly beautiful places we visit. Explore the rugged, waterfall-laden island interior by off-road Jeep; snack on dried bananas, a local specialty; and visit the village of Omoa to admire hand- carved sculptures and drawings made from tapa, tree bark. Visit Fatu Hiva on our Marquesas, Tuamotus & Society Islands itinerary (p.50).


Atuona, Hiva Oa


Chiseled with deep valleys, lofty peaks, and crystal rivers, Hiva Oa is the largest and most fertile of the southern Marquesas. Here, the air is sweet with the aroma of Ylang-Ylang flowers and the trees thick with papaya and mango. Visit the ruins of the ancient Taaoa Valley tribes and the graves of Paul Gauguin and Jacques Brel, who once made the island their home. Visit Hiva Oa on our Marquesas, Tuamotus & Society Islands itinerary (p.50).
