Exploring Nuku Hiva Ep. 94

After our thirty days at sea, we are anxious to explore the remote Pacific paradise of Nuku Hiva. We opt for a land tour with a local guide and hop aboard his 4x4 for a full day covering the entire island. We see ancient Polynesian ruins, sacrifice alters, Copra plantations, local artisans and even dine on the local specialty of wild goat in coconut sauce. It is a very full day with magnificent views in all directions and we return to Gargoyle exhausted but delighted by this wonderful place.

You had me at the Canadian flag 😀 Great video! We'll be at Nuku Hiva in March, 2024 on a cruise and taking a 4 hour excursion showing a lot of what you filmed. We're very excited to see this beautiful island. Thank you!

Thanks for the feedback and so glad it helps. It's a beautiful island and has a fascinating history. The information shop in the harbour is excellent as well. Extremely helpful. And everyone is SO happy! Enjoy the anticipation as well as the trip itself.

Came here after reading about a goat hunter on this island who ate a german tourist. They caught him eventually.

[@SailingGargoyle]

Crazy!

[@kruegerrtv1960]

Be careful, there was a missing killer called Henri Haiti.

[@SailingGargoyle]

Yes, quite the story of a German tourist, drug laced rum, and murder. Crazy!

[@DJALOKVALE]

cannibal island

[@SailingGargoyle]

Absolutely! I did eat wild goat but shied away from sampling a tourist or two. Next time!
