Huahine Travel Guide

A short plane ride or a quick skim across tranquil blue seas from Tahiti lie the twin islands of Huahine. One big, Huahine Nui and the other small, Huahine Iti are joined at the hip by a narrow stretch of land, all lying in the protective embrace of a barrier reef.

That sounds familiar and ever so repetitive. So what makes Huahine special? Huahine is characterised by a variety of landscape – volcanic cones, steep slopes, valleys, indented coastline with neatly tucked away coves and sheltered bays in a fantastic lagoon– and that is what makes it so interesting. The little town of Fare has a decidedly French flavour which comes through in its cafes and patisseries.

So visit Huahine if you want a little bit of peace and quiet in the middle of the South Pacific!

French Polynesia is an expensive destination – so be prepared to shell out a whole lot of money on your holiday. But rest assured – it will be worth it!
