Nuku Hiva est la plus grande île de l'archipel des Marquises, située dans la partie nord-est de la Polynésie française. C'est la plus grande des îles de l'archipel des Marquises et la deuxième plus grande île de la Polynésie française. Elle est située à environ 500 kilomètres à l'est de Tahiti et à environ 1 500 kilomètres à l'ouest des côtes du Chili et de l'Argentine.
L'île se compose de deux parties principales, le plateau calcaire central et les montagnes environnantes. La partie centrale est relativement plate et entourée de montagnes qui s'élèvent jusqu'à 1 050 mètres au sommet du pic de Taiohae. La plus grande ville de l'île est Taiohae, qui est également le port principal et le centre administratif de l'île.
L'île est connue pour ses paysages spectaculaires et sa faune et sa flore uniques. Les principales attractions comprennent les cascades de la vallée de Vaipo, le lagon de Hatiheu et les grottes de Me'ae.

Nuku Hiva est également connue pour son histoire et sa culture. L'île a été peuplée par les Polynésiens il y a plus de 2 000 ans. Au XVIe siècle, elle a été découverte par des explorateurs européens, dont le célèbre capitaine James Cook. En 1842, elle a été annexée par la France et a été incorporée à la Polynésie française. Depuis lors, l'île a connu une croissance économique et sociale, et est devenue un lieu de villégiature populaire pour les touristes et les navigateurs.
