The spirit of the journey

Close to the Tropic of Capricorn, the Tuamotus form a world apart: Tikehau, Rangiroa, Fakarava, to name but a few of the 76 atolls making up this archipelago, compose your symphony in blue here.
In Tikehau and Fakarava, alongside the "Paumotu" (inhabitants of the Tuamotus), you'll experience a way of life between sky and sea, amid flocks of birds and marine riches.
Then, before leaving Polynesia, you'll pause time for a magical moment off the Tahitian peninsula: a swim with humpback whales.
A powerful, deeply moving experience!

Tikehau

A private, personalized welcome awaits you as you step off the plane, with a tiare flower garland, the emblem of Tahiti.
Without delay, you’ll then take your flight to Tikehau.
The adventure truly begins after a final boat transfer to your hotel, located on a motu!
In 1987, Jacques-Yves Cousteau led one of his major expeditions to Tikehau. He described its lagoon as the most fish-rich in the world. As for its charming, flower-filled village of Tuherahera, it is one of the most beautiful and authentic in the Tuamotus, with a unique atmosphere — ideal for discovering the way of life of the “Paumotu”.

The atoll is also home to numerous bird colonies. You’ll stay in an idyllic, authentic setting that blends comfort, simplicity, and a genuine welcome. The quality and variety of activities offered by the owner is a clear asset, set within an extraordinarily rich natural environment.
Your private dive, with a certified center and professional instructors, will bring unforgettable encounters that are sure to leave an impression.

4-night stay.

Ninamu Resort

Caché sur un motu isolé dans le coin sud-ouest de l'atoll de Tikehau, se trouve le Ninamu Resort. Ce petit coin de paradis sert de rampe de lancement parfaite pour les amateurs de plein air à la recherche de luxe, les plongeurs, les pêcheurs, les kitesurfeurs, les surfeurs, les pagayeurs, ou toute personne qui aime simplement se détendre dans et autour des eaux tropicales qui débordent de vie et d'énergie.

Rangiroa

For the second stage of your journey through the Tuamotus, you’ll stop at Rangiroa.

The second-largest atoll in the Tuamotus, Rangiroa offers extensive fishing opportunities. It is in this remote corner of the world, with its clear, fish-rich waters, that you’ll experience the thrill of big game fishing. Head out with confidence, guided by experienced fishermen and captains who know the atoll, its passes, its fishing grounds, and the different lures needed to maximize your chances of a catch.
Rangiroa’s magnificent lagoon, its passes, its string of islets, and its colorful villages offer a wealth of activities and unique encounters.
Rangiroa is also one of the most renowned dive sites in the world.
Explore spectacular sites such as the “caves”, the “shark cave”, “the drop-off and the windmill”, and drift dives. A true feast!

4-night stay.

Fakarava

To continue your exploration of the archipelago, head further south to Fakarava.

This superb atoll is part of a UNESCO-listed biosphere reserve, a testament to the richness of its ecosystem: guaranteed thrills in near-pristine sites.
On your first morning in Fakarava’s magnificent lagoon, take an excursion to the “pink sand motu”, a site of wild beauty, with beach time, swimming, and snorkeling in its coral garden. You won’t leave without visiting the small village of Tetamanu and its charming little church.
Water activities, diving, shell collecting, kayaking — so many ways to discover Fakarava at your own pace, not forgetting the magnificent black pearl.

We have included two dives during your stay.

4-night stay.

Havaiki Lodge,

Havaiki Lodge

Situé au nord de Fakarava, classée Réserve de Biosphère par l’UNESCO, Havaiki Lodge bénéficie d’un emplacement privilégié côté lagon, à seulement 1 km du village principal et du club de plongée.

Tahiti

Return to Tahiti after a flight of around 1 hour 10 minutes.
This final stage will be no less rich in emotion.
In Tahiti’s wildest and most pristine area, follow the remarkable, lush cliffs and watch humpback whales. The Tahiti peninsula offers exceptional whale-watching conditions. You’ll be aboard a human-scale vessel, a 7.5-meter rigid-hulled inflatable fitted with a tau. The approach is carried out with the utmost respect for the animals and in full compliance with current regulations. It is possible to enter the water if conditions allow and if the animal is at rest. Live this privileged moment to the fullest!

Excursion available only from July to November.

2-night stay.
