Fatu Hiva's Bay Of Virgins
After takeoff from the deck of Moonshadow, we took the drone for a quick spin around the stunning Bay of Virgins on the island of Fatu Hiva in the Marquesas. The place looks like a Steven Spielberg movie set, but if it was, everybody would say Steven took it too far, no place looks like that! Surreal!
I Can't find the Waterfall! Bay of Virgins Sailboat Hikes | Hanave Fatu Hiva S2E11
Linus takes you on two DIY hikes you can do from your sailboat in the Bay of Virgins in Fatu Hiva. He hikes from Omoa to Hanavave on the remote mountain road and swims under the waterfall. The first hike is about 4-6 hours of 10-12 miles on a wide rode. The second waterfall hike is about an hour each way from the village of Hanavave, Fatu Hiva through the forest on a well marked trail if you keep your eyes peeled for the cairns or piled stones. Bring your bug spray on the waterfall hike because it is buggy. There are no bugs on the mountain road hike because it is too windy.
Linus also assesses the village of Omoa, Fatu Hiva and concludes it is better for provisioning than Hanavave, but the anchorage has too much swell. You are better off taking the ferry or getting a ride into the town, but neither option is cheap. If you don't mind walking over 20 miles round trip, then you can save some money. The road between Omoa and Hanavave is so poor that it takes a
four wheel drive truck one and a half hours to drive each way.
