Huahine
Huahine offers two islands within one lagoon, with archaeological remains and a brackish lake adding depth to the coastal scenery. Focus on its northern cultural sites or extend your plans to the southern island.

Maeva and Fare Pote’e make Huahine a useful choice for travelers who want cultural context alongside lagoon scenery. Huahine Nui lies to the north and Huahine Iti to the south; their names mean big and small. Near Maeva, the brackish lake preserves a different waterside landscape from the surrounding lagoon, while Faie is known for its sacred blue-eyed eels.
What to look for
Huahine Nui and Huahine Iti share a lagoon but form two distinct islands.
Maeva’s archaeological remains and Fare Pote’e provide cultural points of reference.
The sacred eels at Faie have distinctive blue eyes.
Useful to know
Group Maeva and Faie as northern-island interests before deciding whether to extend your outing to Huahine Iti.
