Overview
Take a trip to Huahine on your French Polynesia Vacation
Huahine is made up of two islands, Big Huahine and Little Huahine which are connected by a channel a few hundred metres/yards wide. They are surrounded by a crystal clear coral reefed lagoon, a wonderful sight on a Tahiti vacation.
It is also known as the Garden Island due to its abundance of lush green tropical foliage and jungle-like scenery. It also offers lush forests, magnificent bays and white sand beaches and is home to many of French Polynesia’s most important archaeological sites. These islands, far less touristy than the major ones, remain authentically Polynesian and unchanged from the modern world on a Tahiti vacation.
One can discover untouched beaches, isolated caves, enchanted lagoons and traditional temples called Maraes. The local inhabitants live a relaxed and traditional lifestyle in the eight small quaint villages that are spread out around the island. Huahine is considered one of Polynesia’s best-kept secrets on Tahiti vacation packages.

The iconic Poisson Cru must be tried while in French Polynesia - it is raw fish marinated in lime juice and coconut milk - so good!
The Food - Polynesian cuisine is based upon using top quality fresh local produce and both savory and sweet dishes often flavored with vanilla or coconut milk. It's surprising to hear many of the perishable ingredients that go into your meals are flown in from various other international countries, and yet, can still taste so fresh and exquisite.
I love the stunning natural beauty, the wonderful people and the opportunity to experience this unique Polynesian culture

To celebrate, I wanted to take my bride to Europe for 50 days. Also, other than the flight over, I wanted to make the trip by train. I contacted Farnaz at Goway. The trip we planned ultimately extended to 60 days. It was absolutely flawless. We had great hotels, great tours. Even though this trip was complex and had a lot of moving parts, there were no problems. Farnaz and the folks at Goway done a great job. I highly recommend them and will definitely use them on any future tripsDaniel GraffWe had a fabulous Croatia vacation with a cruise from Dubrovnik to Split, followed by land tours on Split and Opatija.

KarenWe would like to thank our travel specialist, Bijal for all the planning and coordinating that was done to make our Tanzania trip as spectacular as it was from start to finish!
Everything went so smoothly from our transfers, to our accommodations, to all of our tours! The people we came into contact with were exemplary!
There were so many highlights on our trip from the animal sightings, to the balloon flight and champagne breakfast, to all the incredible scenery.
Our accommodations were stunning! The level of service was remarkable and the locations were beyond our expectations. To think we would be having dinner and seeing the zebras and the elephants in the distance was amazing!
Our tour guide/driver was very knowledgeable, friendly, passionate and had a keen eye for spotting animals in the distance. He made sure that we saw all the animals that we had hoped to see. it was truly a pleasure to spend the week with him.
Thank you again to Bijal for all the work in making this once in a lifetime trip so exceptional!! We look forward to having Bijal help us plan our future trips.The Chadwicks and Williams
