Second largest atoll after Rangiroa and the ancient capital of the Tuamotu archipelago, Fakarava is filled with numerous unexplored "motu" (islet) awaitng new adventurers to discover those pink sand beaches shaded by rows of coconut trees and crytal-clear waters.

Between sky and sea

Two main villages are Rotoava to the North East, near the vast channel passage of Ngarue and Tetamanu, former county seat of the island, located at the edge of the Southern channel passage of Tumakohua. .

Protected by the UNESCO

Protected by the UNESCO charts, Fakarava is proud of its biosphere and rare crustaceans such as squills or sea cicadas. Visitors will be delighted to discover life in a pearl farm (over and underwater), especially in the village of Tetamanu where the oldest church remind us of times when the villagers lived by the copra seasons.
