Island of Dreams
Fakarava, is an untouched world where nesting birds
and marine life live in harmony with the land and
water.

The rich ecosystem is home to rare birds, plants,
and crustaceans while the dive sites are virtually
undiscovered. Life along the shores is equally
unique with quaint villages, old coral churches,
and welcoming people.
Even though Fakarava is the newest destination to
welcome resort visitors among Tahiti,
it was one of the first population centers and the
ancient capital of the region. The lagoon, the second
largest after Rangiroa, is rich with life below
and above the surface and a prime example of nature
at its finest. So pure is the environment here that
Fakarava is being considered for classification
as a UNESCO nature reserve for the preservation
of rare species.
Life among the 400 residents is centralized around
the quaint villages of Rotoava and the Tetamanu.
