Hiva Oa
Above the steady rumble of the Pacific surge, the sharply sculpted mountains of Hiva Oa hide their summits in the mists of rain-filled clouds. The largest and most fertile island in the southern group of the Marquises, Hiva Oa has deep valleys, lush plateaus and thickly wooded forests.
Activities
On Hiva Oa, ways to pass the time include horseback riding (the unofficial national pastime), hiking (to archaeological sites and waterfalls), fishing, and diving (lots of underwater caves, and sizable manta ray and shark populations).
Currency
The currency used in French Polynesia is the French Pacific Franc (CFP).
