VACATIONENHANCINGTOURSMake the most of your vacation, and book your tours before your trip. Everything is pre-arranged, so all you have to do is enjoy!

4-Wheel Drive Safari Expedition -Half dayYour 4x4 driver will take you aroundthe island and visit Maeva’s marae,Faie’s enormous blue-eyed eels andMaroe’s Belvedere for impressiveviews. Visit the only pearl farm onwater and Huahine’s traditional fish parks. Learn about the island’sculture and legends as your tour progresses.

3-in-1 Lagoon Tour with Motu Picnic& Natural Aquarium - Full dayVisit a pearl farm where your guidewill explain how these beautifulpearls are formed. The boat will then sail off to a coral garden inHuahine’s magnificent turquoiselagoon, followed by a buffet lunchon a motu. The last visit of the day isto the natural aquarium, where yourguide will feed the reef fish andsharks so that you get a better lookat them in the water or from aspecially made platform.

Consult your travel agent for moredetails on these and other tours.

HUAHINE“Garden of Eden”While Huahine has all of the natural beauty of the other islands, it is more remote, and may be the best ambassador of Tahitian culture, archaeology, and mystery. The island is home to the largestconcentration of pre-European ancient temples, known as marae, of which local guides are quite knowledgeable. A small, scenic roadruns throughout Huahine, giving you a glimpse of beautiful vistasand quaint villages, where local arts and crafts are displayed andsold. Vacationers often rent their own transportation to travel thisroad and to visit the banana, coconut, and melon plantations thatmake the air so fragrant.

There are many things that make Huahine stand out among theSociety Islands, but perhaps the most treasured one is the muchsaught after idea of solitude and quiet.

Similiar to its cousins Raiatea and Taha’a, Huahine is far less touristedthan Moorea, Bora Bora, and Tahiti (and that’s a good thing)! Thisisland is so relaxing and stress free that many people pick it as their favorite Society Island after traveling here just once.

There’s also an abundance of long and beautiful white sandy beaches on Huahine ... and the good news is that, on this island, most of them are easily accessible for total quality beach- and sun-worshipping.
