This island is home to the Faaroa River, the only navigable river in French Polynesia.

The only real difference between the two vessels was that the canoe had an outrigger. There wasn&#8217;t much to do on these trips except look at the scenery. The boats\u00c2\u00a0put-putted along, as far up the river as they could go. Then, they put-putted back to the lagoon.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_18587\" style=\"width: 1810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/stephendanko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Faaroa-River-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18587\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18587\" src=\"https:\/\/stephendanko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Faaroa-River-1.jpg\" alt=\"Faaroa River - 1\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stephendanko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Faaroa-River-1.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/stephendanko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Faaroa-River-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stephendanko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Faaroa-River-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/stephendanko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Faaroa-River-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-18587\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Faaroa River &#8211; 1<\/p><\/div>\n<p>SOURCE: Faaroa River &#8211; 1\u00c2\u00a0(Raiatea, French Polynesia); photographed by Stephen J.
