Society Islands - HUAHINE

The delightful island of Huahine lies 175 Km (110 miles) northwest of Tahiti in the Leeward Society Islands and is visible from Raiatea, Tahaa and Bora Bora. Comprised of Huahine Nui (big Huahine) and Huahine-Iti (little Huahine), the two islands are joined by a narrow isthmus and are enclosed within a protective necklace of coral.

Huanine is covered with lush dense rainforests and huge trees growing on the slopes of a very varied and dramatic geography.

Offshore motu islets lie inside the barrier reef, providing sheltered gardens for Huahine's watermelon and cantaloupe industry.
