You pull away from the pier and the island unfolds—steep, green ridges cut by cobalt bays, coconut palms leaning toward the coral-stippled sea. The bus hums through narrow coastal roads; the guide points out a jagged peak and the valley where ancient marae once stood, while the wind from the open window dares you to lean forward and keep looking.

Conservation
Stick to marked paths, avoid touching coral or marine life at coastal viewpoints, and buy local products to support small farms and distilleries that prioritize traditional practices.
