nown by many as “Paul Gauguin’s Island,” this majestic and historic island is known for wild and untamed landscapes, carved giant stone tiki, and unearthly vistas, which provided the inspiration for the primal and colorful visions of artist Paul Gauguin and the passionate words of poet Jacques Brel, both of whom chose Hiva Oa as their final resting place. Wood and stone carving defines the modern expression, which reflect the ancient stories told in the petroglyphs, tapas and tiki found in an abundance of ancient sites sprinkled throughout the island. Hiva Oa is a place where the ancestry of The Islands of Tahiti lives and breathes the air of modern life.
