Hervé
Tahiti Hiti'a
Hervé was born and raised in Tahiti. His ancestors are from the Marquesas Islands on the island of Fatuhiva. A professional guide for several years, he decided a few years ago to live his culture at home. He is today a figure of culture and navigation. "The man who speaks to the wind and to nature" is the nickname given to him at Nani. Through his life stories, the navigation he practices, and his knowledge of plants, Hervé manages to touch everyone's hearts.
