The island of Rangiroa, is one of the places they dream of, but few believe that it can exist.


Rangiroa (meaning Vast Sky in Tuamoutan) or Te Kokōta, is the largest atoll  in the Tuamoutas, and one of the largest in the world.  It is part of the Palliser group. The nearest atoll is Tikehau,  located only 12 km to the West. It is about 355 km Northeast of Tahiti.

This island - the perfect place for divers, but also perfect for cycling and swimming in its crystal clear water. Shimmering rays of the sun illuminate the thousands of colorfulfish such as clown fish, moray eels and sea turtles that inhabit the lagoon. In the evenings you can see dolphins dancing in the waves and whale songs ringing outfrom the depths of the ocean.
