http://www.rarolens.com - Tahuata, the smallest of the inhabited Marquesas Islands, lies about three kilometres to the south of Hiva Oa. It was the first of the Marquesas to be visited by Europeans (Mendana in 1595 and Captain Cook in 1774). In 1838 French Catholic missionary priests arrived and began the conversion of Marquesans to Christianity. The Aranui 3 spends a couple of hours in Vaitahu bay unloading cargo and passengers have time to go ashore and visit a craft market and the remarkable Eglise Sainte Mere de Dieu (Holy Mother of God church) built in 1988 to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the arrival of Christianity.
