You can discover the traditional way of life first-hand, coprah production, palm-leaf weaving, the many and different uses of coconuts, local cuisine, monoi production, among other activities.
The quaint and flowery village of Tuherahera maintains its authenticity, giving Tikehau its unmistakable charm. An ideal destination for those seeking to discover and share the paumotu philosophy of life.
