Rurutu

Click HERE for a map of Rurutu

 

Rurutu was first discovered by Captain Cook in 1769 & then Tubuai in 1777.  It was on these islands that archaeologists have found first ruins of open-air stone temples and large-size stone Tiki (statues) similar to those found on the Marquesas and Easter Island.

 

If you can visit the island of Rurutu between the months of July and October you will have the added experience of seeing Humpback Whales, who migrate from their Antarctic feeding grounds to the waters around the island to breed and mate.

 

Although there are very few beaches, the island is ideal for clients looking for a very quiet location to retreat, read and relax.  There are currently no quality hotels although good accommodation is provided in a range of pensions.
