We timed our arrival in Taha'a to coincide with their annual dance contest and festival. Groups from even the smallest of the island's seven villages had elaborate costumes and spellbinding dancers, young and old (adults one night, kids the next).

The headdress (hei upo'o) partially blocking this photo...

Speaking of headdresses,
almost all women wear them for special occasions
(and no two are alike)

Produce is sold at stands along the road,
not in stores

We're not rum fans, but we couldn't resist
a bottle of award-winning spirits from the Pari Pari Rum Factory

This was all fun--but the best part of Taha'a was spending a lot of time in the water. The snorkeling was fantastic here!
