Île d’Eden is not a traditional tourist site per se, but a working farm operated by a handful of families belonging to the Church of the New Testament. They have created a vibrant, organic garden in the infertile sands of their superb motu. Most visitors to Île d’Eden arrive on an organised tour, usually in combination with Motu Puarua and Les Sables Roses.
