Nuku Hiva sightseeing tour

Description of the activity

Entering Nuku Hiva is an ancient experience. Without exaggeration, it is like traveling back to the origins of the world. It is undoubtedly an untamed landscape full of history waiting to be discovered. You are sure to be surprised when you learn the history of Nuku Hiva because there is much more to it than you might expect.

The excursion from the capital, Taiohae, visits spectacular historical and archaeological sites located in the interior of the island. The route will take you through the Taipivai, Hatiheu and Anano valleys.
You will be amazed by towering sacred trees, ceremonial centers called marae where you will see sacrificial altars, views of the deserted bays of Nuku Hiva and incredible scenery at every turn along the way. Highly recommended!

Useful information

The trip around the island is not easy because you need a car, preferably an AWD vehicle. You will encounter some very basic roads and tracks. Sometimes you may have to walk to reach the best views and you will need to know the way back.

For these reasons we would advise you to contact a specialized company to manage your excursion. We recommend one that provides several options depending the time you want to spend.
