We rented a car to drive around Raiatea to the biggest Maraes, sacred sights to ancient Polynesians. Raiatea is home to the biggest and most important mareae in Frnech Polynesia - Taputapuatea, a large complex of many marae that hosted political and religious gatherings and saw chiefs crowned and sacrifices made. Although not known for beaches, Raiatea has beauty in both the lush, green interior and the shores with views of the lagoon and ocean.
Here, we fly into Riaitea, visit Marae Tainuu which is now the sight of the oldest protestant church on Raiatea, and visit the marae coplex of Taputapuatea while seeing some beautiful scenery. To end the day, we see one of the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen from our Hotel Raiatea Lodge balcony.
