The islands have a rich cultural history, with ancient Polynesian traditions and art still evident today. They are less developed than other Polynesian islands, offering pristine natural environments and unique biodiversity. The islands' isolation has helped preserve their native culture, making them a fascinating place for history, nature, and adventure enthusiasts.
