Fakarava is as beautiful above as it is under the water. Its home to the second largest and most picturesque lagoon in the Tuamoto Atolls and its also where your Super Yacht adventure begins!

The most exquisite islets form a ring around Fakaravas lagoon where a quiet elegance of marine l ife l ives in abundance in its crystal clear waters.

It features fluorescent corals and divinely warm water, home to some of the most wondrous dive and snorkel sites, where hundreds of hungry sharks gather in schools to be joined by manta rays and bottle-nosed dolphins.

Drift diving through the 1200m wide channel at North Fakarava Island, you can experience incredible shark action, see huge Napoleon wrasses and witness marbled groupers spawning.

A typical diving day wil l see you cruising through channels and exploring the outer reefs of the atolls, yet there are numerous shallow dive sites within the Tuamotu Archipelago, each with stunning hard corals, sheltering all manner of crustaceans and molluscs.

Here, the world seems unblemished. Life in the small vi l lages, with their bougainvil lea l ined roads, bright coral churches, quaint homes where time seems to stand sti l l .

Sailing Highlights

Rangiroa is the largest of the Tuamotu Atolls and the second largest in the world. Its quite possibly the world’s most immense natural aquarium. Blessed with an accessible yet secluded appeal and a large abundant lagoon, this renowned destination should be at the top of every snorkeller and diver’s l ist. Within the reefs and channels you can expect to see grey reef hammerhead, black tips, si lky, tiger and si lver tip shark species cruising the reef, hunting on schools of snapper and fusil iers

The Avatoru Pass and Tiputa Pass, both located on the northern side of the atoll, produce currents that are ideal for drift diving or snorkeling. They are also known to attract schools of wild dolphins and Graceful Manta Rays..

The Lagon Bleu, located on the western side of Rangiroa, is a shallow lagoon carved into the reef inside the central lagoon, creating a small natural aquarium no more than 16 feet (5 meters) deep. Boasting a continuous supply of fish,

deep-sea fishing and surfing is also a popular water activity in Rangiroa.

You wil l fall in love with this oceanic wonder of the Tuamotos with snorkell ing and diving you can only dream about
