Huahine

As most of its residents earn a living growing cantaloupes and watermelons, and harvesting copra for the Papeete market, Huahine is known as the ‘Island of Fruits’. Renowned for its Bora Bora-like beaches, Mooreaesque bays and basaltic thumbs sticking up atop steep cliffs, Huahine also has ancient ruins and a picturesque main town to explore. As the least developed of the islands, it offers one of the territory’s best opportunities to observe the relatively unchanged Polynesian life.
