Scattered above the tropic of Capricorn, the Tuamotus are a world apart ..… Tikehau, Rangiroa, Apataki and Fakarava are just a few of these crowns of coral sand, fringed by coconut-palms, that create a symphony in vivid blues, for your appreciation. In Tikehau and Fakarava, you will get a taste of Paumotu life, somewhere between sea and sky, surrounded by wheeling flocks of birds and abundant marine life; before and after a cruise packed with exhilarating fishing stops and mind-blowing diving. To end on a high note, one last rare opportunity is reserved for you, meet and swim with humpback whales off the coast of Tahiti, in one of the only destinations to offer this possibility. This deeply moving experience brings to close this beautiful holiday, that brings you closer to nature.

The amazing jade-green lagoon of Rangiroa, its passes & motu (islets), its colored villages offer many activities and unique encounters. Rangiroa is one of the most famous diving spots in the world.
