At sea - Polynesia Rimatara
The ship docks at the “Taanini” wharf. A small circular volcanic plateau, Rimatara was the last... see+ island of the archipelago to be discovered in the 19th century by Captain Samuel Pinder Henry. It has preserved its old traditions, including its own dialect. It is home to an endemic bird, the amazing and colorful Kuhl's lorikeet, the “Ura,” also found in the Cook Islands. After passing through a purification smoke — an ancient welcome tradition — set off to discover the main villages of Amaru, Anapoto, and Motuaura by minibus or truck. In the old cemetery of Amaru, facing the sea, lies the lineage of kings and queens who once ruled Rimatara. An ancient legend warns against making faces in front of the royal tomb, as one risks staying disfigured for life. A barbecue will be served on Motuaura beach.
