This is actually a tiny Atoll, albeit one of the largest in the island chain. It’s really the stuff of South Seas fantasy. White and pink sand beaches are the rule here. Only 3,000 inhabitants enjoy this beautiful idyllic place. Bikes are the best way to get around. The entire place is a Unesco-protected area.
\nBeing such only testifies to the richness of the ecosystem of this atoll: particularly rare fauna and flora, with kingfisher hunter, the palm trees of the Tuamotu and, in the lagoons, the abundant variety of shellfish.
\nFabulous diving and snorkeling experiences here too. The waters contain a high concentration of pelagic fauna and fishes such as barracudas, hammerhead sharks and tiger sharks. After being in the water with these animals you do develop a certain comfort level, but always have an elevated awareness around you.<\/p>\n

This is a pretty magical place. \u00a0Check out the pics. \u00a0You just keep shooting them, the atoll seems to get more beautiful as you spend time here.<\/p>\n
