Manavai
Travel Consultant
In a few words
Originally from Moorea and born to an American father and a Tahitian mother, I had the chance to grow up with two very different cultures. Thanks to my mother, who was constantly traveling abroad for work, I had the chance to discover many countries. From entrepreneur to public relations in an excursion company and later executive secretary in a luxury hotel, I recently became a travel consultant. This job has always fascinated me and it is a great pleasure making you discover our beautiful Polynesia and our culture through Moana Voyages.
Your ideal stay in French Polynesia?
3 days in Tahiti to go around, visit and rejuvenate in the Papenoo Valley in a 4x4 Safari tour.
4 days in Moorea to discover the interior of the island during an ATV tour: its beautiful mountains and sumptuous views passing through the pineapple fields and a tasting of juice and rum at the fruit juice factory.
3 days in one of the Tuamotu islands, to be closer to the population, go fishing and enjoy the simplicity of life, far from everything.
3 days in Bora Bora to book a lagoon tour and swim with rays and sharks in clear blue water and experience the quality service of a 5-star resort.
Eventually, one last stop at the market of Papeete to buy some souvenirs.
Your favorite place in French Polynesia?
Moorea, for its energy by the sea and perfect sunsets.
Your favorite restaurant?
Not an easy question… But I would choose the Snack Mahana located in Papetoai for their fish specialties, especially the mahi mahi in breadcrumbs with coconut milk.
