Fanning Island (Tabuaeran Atoll), Fakarava, and Tahiti food

[kitcrazy]

Just came off a recent (February-March 2023) cruise to the Central and South Pacific, and while researching, I couldn't find much information for a few specific areas/activities.  So I've written three blog posts (with photos) in the hope that they can assist those of you who are going to the same area and/or have similar interests. Please note that this is NOT advertising as my blog is  not monetized; it is simply for family, friends and other interested people. 

• Remote serenity, the Tabuaeran Atoll (https://thefunoftravel.com/remote-serenity-the-tabuaeran-atoll/ ).  Also known as Fanning Island.
• Tasting Tahiti ... (https://thefunoftravel.com/tasting-tahiti/).  About French Polynesian cuisine.
• Holy Fakarava! (https://thefunoftravel.com/holy-fakarava/).  Way more fun than you might expect!

 

Hope you enjoy reading these, and please tell me if you do 😃

Just booked 35 day HAL on Konsingdam for Feb 2025 so I find this VERY helpful!  

 

Thank you for taking the time to write these!

Thank you so much for doing this.  As you said, there is so little info on these areas so this is wonderful.  Thank you!

@kitcrazy thank you for this as we are visiting with Seabourn in January next year. I had planned to take some gifts for the islanders but also liked the tip for gifting shell jewellery to the crew. Australian biosecurity rules would likely confiscate shells so this helps with a way to give to the economy.
