The
island of Huahine has a few interior roads only accessable to 4 wheel drive vehicles. A few companies specialize in showing you these roads via the usage of thier
specially designed Range Rovers- ready to handle any offroad condition, anytime.
These excursions are usually run by knowledgable

useful information and usually a few good jokes. You will be entertained as well
as educated. In our opinion, they are all well worth the price of the ticket.
