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.
