Additional Information

Spanning approximately twenty kilometers south of Rangiroa Island, this coral formation, known as “FEO” in “Paumotu” (the Tuamotu language), is both significant and remarkable. It acts as a barrier against the powerful swells of the austral winter, thereby slowing the erosion of the “motu” (islets).
This extraordinary and awe-inspiring landscape…

Dream day at the reef island - After crossing the lagoon from north to south in a cheerful Mood, equipped with waxes provided by the crew to protect themselves from spray, the fascinating discovery of the island: the unreal colors, the ancient reef jagged, the delicious meal prepared by Paul and Noarii, (with our modest participation), decorated with coral wine from Rangiroa, free time alone in the world, no other boat, and the visit of the reef, the making by Noarii of pretty palm leaf hats. Then back to the aquarium, to finish with dolphin watching in the pass! In short, a day full of emotions. Thanks to Paul and Noarii for their kindness and availability.

disappointing - Reef was in poor condition, one hour snorkeling off a boat. Coral bleaching most likely the problem. Saw some nice fish but they kept 12 of us in 30 feet, too far from the reef. Would not recommend
