1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
The Marquesas Islands.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Don't stay in Papeete if you can help it. Stay in Moorea the island next door. Helps to speak French. Travelling on your own is tiring as you have to speak to different people most of the time3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
The Aranhui boat is specifically dual function which means it services the islands. Local people employed and mostly local food4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Very goodWilliam Bainbridge review 1 Mar 2018
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
The Marquesa Islands are amazing. The cultural shows and dances superb. The 10 mile hike is very worth doing but is not easy.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
If you are booking dormitory accommodation be aware that the top bunks are very confined. They are difficult to get in and out of (particularly if you are over 65) and only have a clearance of about 30 inches.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes - as the Aranui is also a cargo ship al locals benefit.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Interesting, but an awful lot of free time. If you are an active person trip tends to be a bit boring at times. Particularly as the gym is not very well equipped.Holiday Reviews
You can trust Responsible Travel reviews because, unlike many other schemes, reviews can ONLY be written by people who we have verified have been on the holidays. In addition, we don't run these holidays ourselves - our only interest is giving you the best independent advice.
