Things to do in Huahine

The island of Huahine, also known as “the wild one”, is made up of two islands joined by a bridge. Huahine NUI, the northern and larger island, has 4 districts: Fare, Maeva, Fitii and Faie. Huahine ITI, the southern island, has four rather isolated districts: Maroe, Haapu, Parea and Tefarerii.
