Raivavae is a breathtaking island featuring a large lagoon surrounded by a coral reef composed of 28 motu. The cool climate of the island allows for a variety of agricultural activities, and the inhabitants of the four villages located on the island grow taro, coffee, mango, and banana trees.
Known as "the open sky," Raivavae is the perfect place to immerse oneself in the sounds of the sea birds, the ocean waves, and the gentle breeze. The island is often regarded as one of the most beautiful in the Pacific, and its stunning landscapes truly live up to its reputation as the Garden of Eden. Floating over an emerald lagoon, the island is home to remarkable remnants from the past, including a laughing tiki. Numerous artifacts from an era marked by intense pre-European religious and cultural practices are kept in private collections at Western museums.
The locals of Raivavae have made a conscious decision to preserve the natural beauty of their island and have developed an ecotourism concept that welcomes visitors in a warm and unassuming manner. In addition to the handicrafts made by the islanders, Raivavae is the only place where sewn outriggers are still produced, allowing visitors to step back in time and experience a unique sense of nostalgia while on the island.
My travel partner and myself have just returned from our trip to Switzerland ( May 2024 ) and wanted to put in writing our utmost gratitude to Katelyn Mulgrew and the team from Entire Travel Group for the professional, prompt and extensive service provided from start to finish. Kate was there with us every step of the way and answered any question or concern we had in a patient and understandable way, which left us with reassurance and confidence. Switzerland Grand Tour was amazing with picture postcard scenery at every turn. Every aspect of the booking was flawless, from the hotels, transportation and documentation it all worked seamlessly. Hotels were comfortable, central, welcoming and contained everything a traveller could need. Train travel throughout Switzerland is the only way to go, you just get on sit down and relax while enjoying the ever changing and spectacular scenery. I have, and, will be recommending Entire Travel Group to all my friends for any of their travel needs and, will definately be using them as my go to company for any future adventures. Thank you again to Kate and the team for helping us tick this item off our bucket list.
My husband and I just returned from the most amazing trip that Zoe Condon compiled for us. Everything was perfect. From first enquiry to trip complete, Zoe was always available to answer questions big or small and offer helpful knowledgeable tips. If you are looking to visit Canada do yourself a favour and ask Zoe, her knowledge is 2nd to none. I look forward to dealing with both Zoe and Entire Travel Group for future holidays.
My wife & I recently returned from a once in a lifetime experience to Canada. We were so fortunate & blessed that Zoe Condon was such a truely wonderful Travel advisor to make our journey so very special. We undertook the “Winter Views & Colourful Hues” and can only describe it as a Magical Winter Wonderland experience. Everyday was full of amazing experiences & adventures that will remain in our memory & hearts forever. As for Zoe, what an incredible asset she is for the Entire Travel Group. She is so caring, helpful, patient & always so professional in delivering “top shelf”customer service. We can never thank & praise Zoe enough……so grateful & Canada blew us away. 🇨🇦❤️ Special mention also for Zoe’s compassion & concern in helping us during a family grief period.
Lisa organised for our family a perfect trip to Rangiroa. We stayed in a beautiful overwater bungalow and pool villa for our teenagers. We were impressed by Lisa's knowledge of French Polynesia and the connecting flights from Australia. Would highly recommend!
