Highlights of the experience
An unforgettable moment where you will experience life like the Polynesians of yesteryear and feel the Polynesian mana in its purest form.
Meet Hervé, a unique person who sailed to Asia in a traditional canoe to prove that his people were great navigators.
Experience an immersion off the tourist trails that only Nani Travels propose.
Hervé was born and raised in Marqueses. He traces his origins to the Marquesas Islands, specifically on the island of Fatuhiva. As a professional guide for several years, he decided some years ago to live his culture at home. Today, he is a prominent figure in culture and navigation. 'The man who speaks to the wind and nature' is the nickname given to him by the locals. Through his life stories, navigation skills, and knowledge of plants, Hervé manages to touch the hearts of everyone.
