Rimatara
Rimatara, located in the Austral archipelago, is the smallest island of the group, yet it boasts a unique charm with many hidden beauties. As you circle the island, you'll feel as though time has stopped, with tranquil surroundings and breathtaking scenery. The island's small lagoon is also home to an endangered bird species, the Khul's lorikeet or Vini 'ura, whose colorful feathers brighten up Rimatara's sky. This makes Rimatara one of the last refuges for these beautiful birds.
Until recently, access to Rimatara was only possible by sea, adding to its sense of remoteness and exclusivity. However, visitors can now fly to Rimatara from Papeete, making it easier to discover the island's hidden gems.
Aside from farming, the main occupation of Rimatara's population is basket weaving, particularly using the Fara pae'ore leaves - a variety of thornless pandanus - which are used as a material to make woven items. The islanders take pride in their traditional crafts, which have been passed down through generations and are an important part of the island's cultural heritage.
Rimatara's unspoiled landscapes and rich cultural heritage make it a unique and captivating destination. Whether you're looking to explore its tranquil surroundings, learn about local culture, or simply relax and enjoy the island's natural beauty, Rimatara is a must-visit destination.

We had an fabulous trip to Canada and Alaska organized by the amazing Sam Treby. The flights, tours, hotels and pickups for our tours were all spot on. Sam couldn't have been more helpful and knowledgeable, we could not have asked for a better adviser.
We had a perfect trip to Sri Lanka through Entire travel. Tina was amazing at working around our already made plans while also creating an itinerary that we could never have planned ourselves. She was willing to jump in and fix things quickly when something came up and was so easy to deal with when I had a million questions. Absolutely recommend the sri lanka tour, we had an absolute blast!
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.
