For an authentic taste of island life, visit the Mangaia Friday Morning Market, a must for food lovers exploring this remote outer island. Kicking off at 5:30am, the market is where locals gather to stock up on fresh produce, while visitors can sample traditional dishes like tiromi (fried taro and coconut cream disc) and poke (baked banana with tapioca flour and coconut cream). Arrive around 7am for the best food selection before it all sells out!
