About The Port Of Huahine
Huahine, often called the Garden of Eden for its dense forests and fertile valleys, remains one of the less-visited Society Islands despite lying close to Tahiti and Bora Bora. Its lagoon-fringed shores shelter small villages, vanilla plantations, and pearl farms, while the interior rises into jungle-covered hills. The island is actually two landmasses joined by a bridge, giving travelers both mountainous scenery and calm turquoise water within a short drive.
At the heart of the island's cultural landscape is Maeva, home to one of French Polynesia's largest concentrations of ancient marae, or stone temple platforms, set along the shore of Lake Fauna Nui. Wandering these sites offers a tangible sense of pre-European Polynesian society. Ships typically anchor offshore, with tenders bringing visitors to the main town of Fare, a walkable waterfront settlement that serves as an easy starting point for exploring the wider island.
