We arrived at the car hire place at 10 but were told that the car was only coming back at 11 so we went back to Newt for a drink.
Once we finally got the car we drove around Huahine Nui (big Huahine) and stopped at Fare for some lunch. We then carried on exploring Huahine Nui visiting the Marae (religious sites) and doing a walk. After the walk we needed to cool off and we had been told about some good snorkeling at a nearby hotel. We got to the hotel and it was all closed down with holes in the roofs of the bungalows. We had a good explore of the resort but couldn't see where the good snorkeling was.
The next stop was the Huahine Pearl Farm. They ran a complimentary boat out to the farm in the middle of the lagoon. Despite also visiting a pearl farm in Manihi this was really interesting and we learnt more about the pearl process.
Our final plans for Huahine Nui was to see the eels and visit Eden Park – unfortunatelky the eels were nowhere to be seen and we couldn't find Eden Park either!!
We headed back to Huahine Iti (little Huahine) to visit a vanilla plantation – there wasn't much to see they just had packets of vanilla pods for sale.
Finally we circum navigated Huahine Iti before heading abck to the car rental place.
We have the car until 11.30 tomorrow morning so we are going to collect it again in the morning and head back to Fare to do some shopping.
