The Marquesas Islands, “Te Henua Enata”, the Land of Men, are the wild heart of French Polynesia, famed for their dramatic volcanic peaks, ancient stone ruins, and untamed jungle valleys. Located among the world’s most remote archipelagos, the Marquesas captivate with the raw power of nature: towering cliffs plunging into the Pacific, black sand beaches, and soaring waterfalls like Hakaui on Nuku Hiva. Rich in legends and alive with vibrant traditions, these islands are an adventurer’s paradise where every valley echoes with sacred history and every encounter promises awe. Now part of the UNESCO heritage, the Marquesas islands are the creative land of Paul Gauguin and Jacques Brel.
