Ua Huka is a small and remote island located in the Marquesas Islands, which are part of French Polynesia. In the local legend, the island is believed to symbolize the "food basket" of God's house. This mystical belief is supported by the island's rich soil and abundant vegetation, which make it an ideal place for growing fruits, vegetables, and other crops. The islanders take great pride in their traditional farming techniques and are known for producing high-quality produce that is sold throughout the region.
Apart from its fertile land, Ua Huka is renowned for its unspoiled beauty and rugged landscapes. The island is crescent-shaped, with a rugged coastline and steep cliffs that rise up to 600 meters above sea level. Wild horses roam freely across the desert-like terrain, and goats can be seen climbing up to the high plains of the island. The island's dry soil and sparse vegetation give it a unique and rugged appearance that is unlike any other place in French Polynesia.
Despite its remote location and sparse population, Ua Huka has a rich cultural heritage that dates back thousands of years. The island's ancestors were skilled navigators and seafarers who traveled across the vast Pacific Ocean, settling on Ua Huka and other islands in the Marquesas archipelago. Today, the islanders continue to honor their cultural heritage through traditional ceremonies, dances, and songs that celebrate their unique way of life.
Ua Huka is a peaceful and mystical place that beckons travelers to explore a secluded world where time seems to stand still. The island's natural beauty and rich cultural heritage make it a fascinating destination for anyone who is interested in history, culture, and adventure. Whether you want to hike to the island's highest peak, explore its pristine beaches, or simply relax and soak up the island's tranquil atmosphere, Ua Huka is a destination that is sure to captivate your imagination and leave you with memories that will last a lifetime.
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!
