Highlights

This experience is perfect for lovers of authenticity looking for a unique immersion in Polynesian culture, and it is particularly suitable for families, couples or groups of friends wishing to connect with the simple values of Polynesian life. You will experience a timeless moment, like the Polynesians of ancient times, by immersing yourself in a local's home, far from the tourist trails. You will have the opportunity to meet Hervé, a unique character who sailed to Asia aboard a traditional canoe to prove that his people were great navigators. In addition, you will share a meal prepared with garden and seafood products, which you have harvested yourself. This experience is not for everyone, but for those who truly seek to experience and understand Polynesian culture in its purest essence.
