Trip around the island, on land

by svtrance

Wednesday December 23, we took an all day guided tour around the eastern and northern parts of the island. Richard was our guide. The island is very mountainous. The roads are narrow with several 180degree switchbacks.

  • Richard our guide
  • Valley
  • At the carvers, near Taipivai, he didn’t want me to take a photo of him.
  • Taiohae Bay, this where we are anchored

Both churches we visited were being decorated for Christmas. People were busy creating nativity scenes using fresh greenery’s.

  • This area is used for outdoor services
Immaculate Conception Church in Vaipaee
  • The carver we met did this sculpture
  • He also did this one too.
St Joseph’s Church in Taipivai
  • We had lunch at Chez Yvonne, in the village of Hatiheu, by the water
  • Banyon tree
Archeological Sites where ancient and current festivals are held
  • Survivor Marquesas, season 4 was filmed here
Controllers Bay
