Huahine has all the hallmarks of its neighbouring islands — a lagoon, motu and mountains — but very few people. There is just one main village, Fare, where the ferry arrives alongside two small cafés. Beyond it lie vanilla plantations, traditional stone fish traps still in use today, and the largest collection of marae in Polynesia, at Maeva, a site that has been continuously inhabited for more than a thousand years.
