of all levels of experience.
Featuring amazing pink sand beaches lined with swaying coconut palms, a crystal clear ocean that’s warm to the touch, the 76 islands and atolls within the Tuamotu Archipelago are spread over an area of more than 700,000 sq. mi. (2 million km²) in the South Pacific. It’s a land where the story of Robinson Crusoe could have actually taken place.
Living up to their reputation, the Tuamotu Islands are a must-see for experienced divers. The atoll lagoons are a protected paradise where underwater life is spectacular. This area is also the cradle of the legendary Tahitian cultured pearl, grown with love, patience and respect, lying in a blue elegant oyster. Pearl farms lie almost weightlessly on the Tuamotu’s lagoons where the pearls get their unmatched colors and shades.
Some Tuamotu atolls are just endless white, sandy beaches with a few acres of coconut plantations. Others, such as Rangiroa, the second largest atoll in the world, are much larger.
