Where Are The Marquesas Islands?


The Marquesas’ archipelago is located 932 miles (1,500 km) northeast of the island of Tahiti and spread out over 12 islands, of which only six are inhabited. The Marquesas Islands are hard to beat and impossible to forget, filled with rich culture, history, and endless adventures.

Ua Huka symbolizes the “food basket” of God’s house in the legend, features even more untouched beauty, and is renowned for its dry soil and landscapes. The island itself is shaped very much like a crescent. Wild horses gallop as far as the eye can see around this desert-colored land. Goats climb up on the island’s high plains. Peaceful and mystical, Ua Huka invites the traveler to discover a secluded universe, where the island’s ancestors are not just a part of the past but still very much part of the islanders’ everyday life.
