The lagoon
Tikehau’s lagoon is essentially a complete oval, surrounded by a ring of coral and islets. With just one pass into the ocean, the lagoon is home to an abundance of marine life. In fact, Jacques Cousteau claimed the Tikehau lagoon to be one of the most fish-filled places in the South Pacific. Because of this, diving and snorkeling are two of the main attractions in the atoll. You’ll likely spot eagle rays, colorful schools of fish and even reef sharks!

The islets
Because Tikehau is made up of tiny islets, there’s plenty to see! In the middle of the lagoon, “Bird Island” is home to a variety of bird species and grey coral formations, perfect for an Instagram shot! Eden Island is another must-visit. With few inhabitants, it’s a working farm that grows fruits and vegetables and hosts stunning views! The main village on the atoll, Tuherahera, is quaint, yet beautiful, covered in colorful flowers and vibrant, welcoming people.

The beaches
While the islets are small, the views are not! It’s easy to get from one islet to the other and experience the different beaches amongst them. Sables Roses is not to be missed. Here, you can experience beaches with sand that is a light shade of pink, made up of pulverized coral. Because most of the islets are uninhabited, it’s easy to stumble upon a private beach and get lost in the pure beauty of Tikehau.
