This morning we signed up for an island tour of Raiatea on a 4x4 jeep with a local named Tevi. Our Tahitian driver takes us around the small island stopping at several scenic vantage points. We also stop at a botanical garden with lots of beautiful flowers and exotic plants, like Vanilla. Another stop is at Marae Taputapuatea. A marae is a flat rock terrace that held social and religious importance in old Polynesia. Some think humans may have been sacrificed on these sacred platforms. In 2017 it became a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
