On Day 1 of the tour, your guide will pick you up from Nuka Hiva Airport for an hour-long transfer across the top of the Island to Taiohae Village. The drive is spectacular, and you will stop at several viewpoints to take it in. You’ll then board the catamaran and move into your cabin. After an orientation and safety briefing, enjoy an afternoon paddle in Taiohae Bay and along the coast to Hakatea Bay. Anchor in Hakatea Bay for the night.

Marquesas adventure kayaking
This is one of the best adventure kayak trips that we’ve been on. The remote Marquesas Islands are a great place to explore, with wonderful coastline kayaking, brilliant scenery and a variety of wildlife to keep you entertained. The support boat is fit for purpose, the captain and crew extremely helpful, fun to be with and extremely knowledgeable about the best places to go. Another important aspect, for me at least, was that the food was all top notch. All in all, this is an excellent package organised by Expedition Engineering with just the right amount of splendid kayaking, visits to historical locations, meeting the locals, snorkelling and wildlife photography.
