Rangiroa ~ The Infinite Lagoon
(Tuamotu Islands)

Rangiroa means long sky and from the air you'll see that this huge atoll is appropriately named. Just 55 minutes by plane from Tahiti, you will be in awe as you look down on this atoll from the air. The lagoon of Rangiroa is the largest in the Southern hemisphere and could enclose the entire island of Tahiti...

World renowned for the abundance of sea life that scuba divers encounter through its fast paced drift dives, Rangiroa is more than just a diver’s paradise. Here even non-divers will find the scenary extraordinary and the setting perfect for relaxation. A must do for you non-divers is a snorkeling excursion thru the Tiputa pass. We also recommend a trip to the Blue Lagoon. It is a lagoon within the lagoon and breathtaking in it's beauty. It is about an hour boat ride from the hotels. Late afternoon is the perfect time to hop on a bike and ride over to Ohutu Point overlooking Tiputa Pass where you are likely to see dolphins frolicking about. To get a taste of village life, stop by the small villages of Tiputa and Avatoru, each with a population of approximately 700. Both villages are beside a navigable pass.
