About Ua Huka

This small and charming island is one of the smallest in the Marquesas. It has a population around 600 most of which live on the southern half of the island. The island centre are made up of two crescent shaped ridges running mostly east-west. The largest village is in the westernmost bay of Vaipaee where the school, the mayor's office, and the infirmery can be found. The bay here is deep and narrow which brings strong winds from either direction. Only one of the two cargo ships can enter to have direct access to the quai for unloading. When the Aranui is there it seems that if takes up the entire bay. There are also two or three small stores along the road as you leave the port. There is also a small pension above the road just past the townhall. The road runs along one side of the valley
