Tikehau

Tikehau is a beautiful coral atoll known for its pink coral sand beaches and one of the richest lagoons for marine life in the entire Pacific.

The lagoon is home to an incredible diversity of fish, rays, reef sharks, and colorful coral gardens. Jacques Cousteau once described Tikehau's lagoon as having one of the highest concentrations of fish of any lagoon in the world.

Unlike some of the more famous islands of French Polynesia, Tikehau remains peaceful and uncrowded. Life here moves slowly, surrounded by endless ocean, coconut palms, and small sandy motu scattered around the lagoon.

It is an ideal destination for travelers looking for pure relaxation, snorkeling, and an authentic connection with the ocean.

Mana Polynesia Tip:
Visit Bird Island (Motu Puarua), where thousands of seabirds nest. It is one of the most peaceful and untouched places in the Tuamotu Islands.
