Some of the most mystical locales in Tahiti are on land: the stonemarae(temples) that the ancient Polynesians held sacred, and modern Tahitians still do today. While the Polynesians have always revered the sea, and for the majority of tourists today Tahiti is all about its incredibly blue lagoons, it is the land that holds the key to much of its cultural lore.
