Marquesas Archipelago

This island, located 1184 km northeast of Tahiti, is characterized by a particular strength and charm thanks to its rugged mountains and cliffs, superb black sand beaches, hidden gem waterfalls. With its 320 km², Hiva Oa is the third-largest island in French Polynesia, after Tahiti and Nuku Hiva.

Booking a ticket to Hiva Oa will take you to a place of genuine nature, with verdant valleys where goats and wild horses roam freely over immense territories. Hiva Oa is, among other things, regarded as the “Garden of the Marquesas”, with its fertile soil producing a wide variety of fruits (grapefruit, pineapple, papaya...) and vegetables.

Staying on Hiva Oa also gives you the chance to discover the island's rich heritage, with magnificent historic sites such as Puamau, home to Takaii, Tahiti and her islands’s tallest tiki (2.50m), Taaoa, comprising over 1,000 paepae (ancient stone platforms), and Tahauku, home to an enormous 9.60m-long rock engraved with petroglyphs.

What are you waiting for to book your flight to Hiva Oa? The island offers you its magnificent landscapes as a backdrop for your hikes. Perhaps you'll have the chance to see a sculptor at work, get a “patutiki” (Marquisian tattoo), or discover the museum dedicated to the famous painter Paul Gauguin, who lived his last years on the island and was buried there. Like Gauguin, singer Jacques Brel also made Hiva Oa his home, and his life on the island is commemorated in a memorial. Hiva Oa is also the ideal starting point for discovering the island of Tahuata and its many points of interest, whether for a day trip or a longer stay.
