Raiatea

Raiatea, often called "The Sacred Island," is a treasure trove of history and natural beauty. Framed by a shared barrier reef with nearby Tahaa, it's said that long ago, a mythical creature split the two islands apart. Once the cultural and spiritual heartbeat of the Society Islands, Raiatea’s most revered site, Taputapuatea marae, stands proudly on the southeast coast. This sacred stone temple once welcomed kings from neighboring islands for powerful ceremonies. The island’s main town, Uturoa, charms visitors with its quaint streets and views reminiscent of Papeete in simpler times. Nature lovers can enjoy the serenity of Fa'aroa, the only navigable river in French Polynesia, or venture up Mount Temehani to see the elusive tiare apetahi flower, found nowhere else in the world.

Raiatea

Raiatea, often called “The Sacred Island,” invites you to uncover its fascinating tales and cherished traditions. Separated from its neighbor Tahaa by a glistening lagoon and a shared barrier reef, this island is steeped in legend. According to island folklore, a powerful conger eel possessed by the spirit of a princess once divided the two lands. Historically, Raiatea served as the spiritual heart of the Society Islands, home to the significant Taputapuatea marae where chiefs from surrounding islands gathered for ceremonies. Today, its charms extend from the quaint appeal of Uturoa—reminiscent of a younger Papeete—to the gentle flow of the Fa’aroa River, the only navigable river in the islands.
