Hiva Oa Travel Guide

Hiva Oa is the second largest of the Marquesas Islands in French Polynesia and was once the home of the famous painter, Paul Guaguin. There are plenty of things to do besides soaking in the sun, and enjoying the views of the both rugged and lush landscape -  the village of Atuona, home of the port of Hiva Oa, provides plenty of services for travelers. If you're an art lover, you may want to check out Puamau Village, home of the relatives of Paul Guaguin, or the Calvary Cemetery, his final resting place.
