What they say about us
EXCELLENT Basée sur 122 avis Millie M15/02/2025vérifié Must Do Trip on Beautiful Huahine Huahine is an island with many ancient temples, with a population of 63,00 which live in 6 villages around the coast. There is Huahime Nui and Iti. Nui means big and Iti little; the two islands were not connected until a bridge was built in the 1960s (but before the bridge, they could walk across as the water was not deep. This tour gives you the history of both islands and stops at everything you want to see. It includes the bridge, the most significant temple, pareo painting, a vanilla farm, a fantastic lookout for the tallest part accessible by car, and the blue-eyed eels. The guide is excellent, kind, and has a great sense of humor. He gives the guys traditional flowers and the ladies a conventional flower wreath at the beginning of the tour. His wife makes the wreath from flowers they pick; it is beautiful and smells so good. He also has water and bananas for a snack. The half-day tour hit all the highlights, and we were delighted by all the history. I highly recommend this tour. Fiona G01/12/2024vérifié Amazingly beautiful island This was simply a magical tour. After spending a few weeks travelling around French Polynesia, Huahine became our favourite island, helped by an amazing tour with Henri and his daughter. We fell in love with Huahine and understand why they are so passionate and the islanders look after this piece of paradise. Henri and his daughter are so knowledge, so learning about the history of the island was fascinating. Seeing the ancient fish traps, blue eyed eels, marae, vanilla plantations, beautiful beaches and stunning scenery is something not to be missed. If you have the time, we would recommend the full day trip so you can enjoy lunch with his family. We can’t thank Henri and his family enough for a truly, memorable experience. What an amazing day.
