I'll soon be travelling to:
>Kiribati
>Samoa
>Tonga
>Tuvalu
>Marshall Islands
>Vanuatu

It's tough to find info about things to do and see in these places. Most sources are local blogs that are just like "We went to this beach. It was really pretty. Then we went to another beach. The water was great. We ate a fuckin' coconut. The food was okay."

I know these places are not huge tourist destinations, but surely there's some unique and cool stuff to see and do other than Just Another Fuckin Beach. I know for example that you can ski on ash in Vanuatu, and you can see church ruins half-buried in lava in Tonga, but those are not advertised in many places. Is there any other cool shit to do in these places?

>Polynesia Shit to Do
>other than Just Another Fuckin Beach
i mean you likely know the basic stuff
>hiking on bigger islands like Moorea
>all types of surfing
>diving or snorkeling
>whale watching

the only actual relevant cultural / historic sight is
>Marae Taputapuatea
maybe something like
>Ma’ae Lipona (tiki statue)
>Nuku Hiva Kamuihei
>Rano Raraku (obviously)

but a lot is just really boring, like
>Pulemelei Mound
is just a hill... or
>Ha'amonga maui
is just a stone arch (albeit more interesting than the first one)
and these 2 are already the more interesting ones compared to the typical "ceremonial pile of rubble" you otherwise find

>canyoning in tahiti
was also pretty cool

but honestly what did you expect??
most people go there for the beaches during their honeymoon or similar
these are all tiny islands, with agrarian / subsistence societies (in the past) without much space to build elaborate cultures

the only reason people travel there today is because some retarded in the 19th century made the grave mistake to publish James Cooks diaries

I've been to Samoa and Vanuatu. Vanuatu has more to do ig, island hopping, volcanoes, kava. John Frum Society singing night was actually one of the most beautiful things I've ever experienced. The singing is oddly enchanting.
Samoa is just kinda chilling with wife or gf doing nothing kinda place. Honeymoon vibes.
