Tuamotu Islands

A string of atolls set between sky and ocean and a world renowned scuba diver’s paradise, the Tuamotu is the archipelago that mostly reveals a blue tinged facette of Polynesia.
The atolls are made of numbers of motu (little islets) that close together to unveil a deep blue ocean on the outside and a turquoise lagoon in the inside.
Sharks, rays and dolphins are part of this rich ocean community you can meet during your diving experience.

Due to a hot and quite dry weather the Tuamotu do not have very lush vegetation. Coconut trees, bushes and small plants can be found here and there.
Yet, you’ll be surprised to learn about the vineyard in Rangiroa. The only one in the entire country.

If you are looking for pink sand this is the place you need to visit. Rangiroa, Tikehau, Fakarava, Manihi are just some of those beautiful atolls that will enchant you.
