Passing through Tiputa Pass famous for its dolphins, the aquarium (coral garden) as well as Reef Island and the Blue Lagoon, you are promised a memorable and emotional day.
The distance from one site to another requires us to spend three hours by boat divided into three portions of about an hour each.

A Day at the Island of Reefs
Stretching over about twenty kilometers south of the island of Rangiroa, this coral formation also called "FEO" in "Paumotu" (Tuamotu language) is as important as it is exceptional, because it serves as a barrier against the strong the swell of the austral winter thus delaying the erosion of our “motu” (islets).
This unique and impressive landscape transports us to the stars with its craters that one would believe to have been formed by the impact of meteorites, thus creating natural basins filled with crystal clear water.
