Huahine, with its approximately 5,500 inhabitants and its main town Fare is one of the French Society Islands. These islands are a tropical South Pacific archipelago of volcanic origin. They represent the most economically important of the five archipelagoes of French Polynesia, and are divided into two groups: the wind-facing side (islands off the wind) and the wind-side remote (islands below the wind). Huahine is one of the latter. Strictly speaking, Huahine is made up of two approximately equal-sized islands, Huahine Nui and Huahine Iti, which are connected by an isthmus. Huahine is also called "the Island of Light": blue lagoons, green hillsides, red clay soil and white beaches form a stunning color spectacle.
