I didn’t know there was a Heiva on Bora Bora too so it was a pleasant surprise to find out that there was one during the time I was here! I had already been to the Heiva in Tahiti and thoroughly enjoyed it. Now here was a chance to see it again on a different island and compare the two.

It was smaller than the one in Tahiti of course but in some ways that made it better. It was more intimate, and photography was allowed during the show. I got several pictures and videos of the dancers.
