\u201cThis is where you\u2019ll find the largest concentration of ancient monumental tikis still standing in their original setting. Today, those that were neither destroyed by missionaries nor hidden by local people are displayed in museums around the world\u2026\u201d adds Aniata.<\/p>\n

Temperatures in the Marquesas Islands range from 22\u00b0C to 30\u00b0C throughout the year, with an average of around 28\u00b0C. The islands have a humid tropical climate, with the seasons defined by rainfall rather than temperature. Although the archipelago lies close to the Equator, it is outside the tropical cyclone belt. The so-called \u201ccool\u201dm September to December, is the most pleasant, with refreshing trade winds and less frequent rainfall.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re travelling independently, it\u2019s essential to book your inter-island flights or boat transfers well in advance. Airstrips can be found on every inhabited island except Fatu Hiva and Tahuata. Two ferry services connect the northern and southern island groups.<\/p>\n
Finally, exploring the Marquesas with a local guide is a real plus. Their local knowledge insight into Marquesan culture, helping you look beyond the beauty of the landscapes.<\/p>\n

Aniata Kimitete<\/strong><\/p>\nBorn on Nuku Hiva, Aniata has spent almost her entire life on her beloved island, apart from a brief period away to pursue her studies. She has worked as a tour guide since 2013, notably aboard the Paul Gauguin<\/em><\/a>, where she helps passengers discover and gain a deeper understanding of Polynesian culture. She is thus following in the footsteps of her parents, who played a major role in putting the Marquesas on the international map. Her father, Lucienmother, Debora, was president of the first tourism committee and an active advocate for environmental protection in the Marquesas.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_testimonial][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=\u201don|phone\u201d admin_label=\u201dMEA \u2013 classic\u201d _builder_version=\u201d4.27.6\u2033 _module_preset=\u201ddefault\u201d background_color=\u201d#f7f7f7\u2033 width_tablet=\u201d\u201d width_phone=\u201d100%\u201d width_last_edited=\u201don|phone\u201d max_width=\u201d900px\u201d custom_margin=\u201d||50px||false|false\u201d custom_padding=\u201d|50px|50px|50px|false|true\u201d custom_padding_tablet=\u201d\u201d custom_padding_phone=\u201d|40px||40px|false|true\u201d locked=\u201doff\u201d global_colors_info=\u201d{}\u201d][et_pb_column type=\u201d4_4\u2033 _builder_version=\u201d4.16\u2033 _module_preset=\u201ddefault\u201d global_colors_info=\u201d{}\u201d][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u201d4.27.7\u2033 _module_preset=\u201ddefault\u201d header_3_font_size=\u201d16px\u201d global_colors_info=\u201d{}\u201d]<\/p>\n
1. What would you like to share with people discovering the Marquesas?<\/strong><\/h3>\nI always try to help visitors understand that our history didn\u2019t begin with the arrival of the Europeans. We are the heirs to a civilisation that stretches back more than a thousand years, and we\u2019re immensely proud of our culture and ions. Our archipelago is truly unlike any other in French Polynesia.<\/p>\n
2. What makes it so special?<\/strong><\/h3>\nFirst of all, there\u2019s the Marquesan language and our history, as these were the first islands in French Polynesia to be colonised by Europeans. Our craftsmanship is distinctive too: the motifs and decorative designs are different from those found on the other islands. Another example is the endemic plants we use, which give our monoi a very different fragrance from the one you\u2019ll find in Tahiti. In fact, here we call it \u201cpani\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
But above all, what strikes visitors in the Marquesas is a powerful energy that can be felt everywhere. This mana leaves a lasting impression, turning visitors into our greatest ambassadors. They\u2019re deeply touched by the warmth of their welcome and the kindness of the people. They often say to me, \u201cYou all seem so happy!\u201d<\/p>\n
3. Finally, one last question for food lovers: What should you try in the Marquesas Islands? <\/strong><\/h3>\nSeventy per cent of our food comes from the ocean, so seafood, crabs and spiny lobsters are a must. If you enjoy meat, don\u2019t miss two traditional dishes that are often served at Sunday family gatherings: goat cooked in coconut milk and slow-cooked pork.<\/p>\n
