Marquesa Islands

The Marquesa Islands are renowned for their rugged beauty, towering volcanic peaks, lush valleys, and Polynesian culture. This remote paradise offers a dramatic contrast to the typical tropical island, with its jagged cliffs, lush vegetation, and vibrant arts and traditions. The main islands, including Nuku Hiva and Hiva Oa, beckon adventurers with hiking, stunning vistas, and a glimpse into the world of Paul Gauguin, who found inspiration in these landscapes.

Sailing conditions in the Marquesa Islands can be challenging but rewarding. The islands are known for their steep cliffs and abrupt shoreline, which means careful navigation is essential. The trade winds, typically blowing from the southeast, provide consistent sailing conditions, but the islands' mountainous terrain can create local wind patterns and gusty conditions. Mariners should be prepared for varied weather and currents when exploring these remote waters.

Some of the sailing routes include Nuku Hiva and Hiva Oa Circuit, Ua Pou and Fatu Hiva, Hiva Oa to Tahuata and the exploration of remote atolls as Ua Huka and Tahuata
