Rangiroa

Rangiroa (or Ra’iroa) is the largest atoll of Tahiti and her Islands and one of the four largest in the world, with more than 240 motu (islets). Rangiroa is worldwide famous for its extraordinary diving opportunities. A genuine natural aquarium, rated by Command Cousteau as the most beautiful and richest lagoons in the world.

The incomparable brilliance and colors of the lagoon from jade-green to purple, completely overwhelm the visitor who discovers this long ribbon of islets way out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

The main government buildings are to be found in Avatoru – the main village – including the Mayor’s Office, the Post Office, the Pearl Industry Research Center together with a mother of pearl and pearl culture Crafts Center, and two churches. The other village of Tiputa has houses ringed with bleached coral and fenced with flowering hedges.

An 8-mile road links the two villages and their neighborhoods.

Dive or not, the atoll is a sweet paradise for anyone, where several excursions will lead to pink sands, hidden “motu” and the blue lagoon, a heavenly and isolated place.
