Today on Ua Huka, guests explored the island’s rich cultural and natural landscapes. Morning stretches with wellness specialist Tila set the day in motion before hikers ventured into Hane Valley, discovering ancient stone sites at Me’ae Meiaute. Others enjoyed a leisurely tour, visiting the Te Tumu ceremonial center, Hane Valley archeological sites, and the lush Papuakeiha Arboretum.
The excitement continued in the afternoon as Zodiacs whisked us to the dramatic “Bird Islands” where thousands of sooty turns swirled overhead in mesmerizing formations. Just when we thought the day couldn’t get more magical, a fever of manta rays appeared, gracefully swimming around our Zodiacs.
We capped off this day with cocktails, laughter, and storytelling in the lounge. Ua Huka’s wild landscapes and unexpected encounters left us in awe!
