6 generations of her family have walked the paths and swam the waters of Tahiti.Her home, Teahupo'o has some of the most pristine and dynamic land in the world — a truly intimate and untouched oasis. 

We were honored to have Hinatea as our local guide on our last Roark adventure in Tahiti. 

Her resolve to protect and uphold the land of her ancestors is something she will pass down to her son for the generations to come.
