TIKEHAU

SLIP THROUGH THE SCHOOLS OF FISH

Tikehau is considered to be the most fish-rich atoll in the Tuamotus. Millions of fish live in this untouched transparent world. Their volume is so much that Jacques Cousteau’s research crew dubbed it “the most fish abundant Tuamotu atoll”. The only pass on the island is the gathering place for pelagic species and promises to offer you great encounters.
