This experience is perfect for lovers of authenticity looking for a unique immersion in Polynesian culture, and it is particularly suitable for families, couples or groups of friends wishing to connect with the simple values of Polynesian life. You will experience a timeless moment, like the Polynesians of ancient times, by immersing yourself in a local's home, far from the tourist trails. You will have the opportunity to meet Hervé, a unique character who sailed to Asia aboard a traditional canoe to prove that his people were great navigators. In addition, you will share a meal prepared with garden and seafood products, which you have harvested yourself. This experience is not for everyone, but for those who truly seek to experience and understand Polynesian culture in its purest essence.

Additional Info

To reach Hervé's house you have to cross a small river that will come up to your knees. There are dry toilets available on site. The site does not have an electrical outlet or “drinking water filtered by the municipality”, only spring water is available. Lunch will consist of products from the garden, the valley and the sea, grown and hunted by Hervé.

Cancellation Policy

All sales are final. No refund is available for cancellations.

What To Expect

You will spend the day alongside Hervé, a Polynesian rich in experience, knowledge and mana (mystical power). Great traditional navigator, teller of Polynesian legends, tahu'a (healer)… Hervé is a personality with many hats. In the privacy of his home, between his fa'a'apu (vegetable garden) and his marae (sacred platform), he will introduce you to the life of a Polynesian living in harmony with his environment and his culture. Let it surprise you!
