Huahine Tahiti Vacations

Huahine Tahiti Vacation Packages

Huahine, with its lush forests and untamed landscape, is Polynesia's best-kept secret.

A deep, crystal-clear lagoon surrounds the two islands while magnificent bays and white-sand beaches add drama and solitude to their virtues. Huahine's few residents are warm, welcoming visitors with great kindness. With its rich and fertile soil, the island provides farmers bountiful harvests of vanilla, melons and bananas.

The spell cast by Huahine will last a lifetime.

Huahine Attractions

Fare Pote'E
This vintage meetinghouse located along a coastal road in Maeva is being transformed into a small museum and cultural center. The area is home to several 16th-century lakeside "marae" - ancient stone structures, and stone fish traps shaped like a "V".

Marae Anini
The 19th-century archeological site on Huahine Iti known as Marae Anini was once a place of worship of the dieties Oro and Hiro. It is rumored to also have served as a sacrificial shrine.

Marae Manunu
One of Huahine's most renowned "marae" monoliths, Marae Manunu is one of the island's most interesting sites. The 100 foot-long sacred stone, which was reconditioned by American archeologist Kenneth Emory in 1933, possesses a curious rectangular shape.

Matairea-Rahi
One of the most sacred and important structures in Huahine, Matairea-Rahi features the foundations priest's homes, as well as a massive fortification wall that was built to protect the hilltop sanctuary against raiders arriving by sea.

Maeva
Formerly the royal headquarters of Huahaine, Maeva is now best known for its many archeological artifacts, which can be observed all about the area. These lithic stones rise from the ground like a Polynesian version of England's Stonehenge.
