Copra: a Precious Heritage

One of the most important aspects of local life that we want travelers to discover is copra. Copra is the dried flesh of the coconut, widely used in Polynesia, particularly on Taha’a. It is obtained by drying the pulp and is mainly used to produce coconut oil (for cosmetic and culinary purposes). This is an important traditional activity, both economically and culturally, showcasing local ingenuity.

The Symphony of the Islands: Dances and Songs

Tahitian dances and songs are the living soul of our culture. They tell stories of love, nature, and deities, passed down from generation to generation. Attending a dance performance is a mesmerizing experience that connects you directly to the spirit of Taha’a. Let yourself be carried away by the rhythm of the drums and the melody of the voices, a testament to an incomparable cultural richness.
