Cruises from Ua Huka
Ua Huka, situated in the northern group of the archipelago, is one of the Marquesas Islands in French Polynesia, an overseas territory of France in the Pacific Ocean. Several island museums display the former glory of the Marquesan civilization, and among the archaeological remains are ancient rock engravings from as early as 300 AD.
