The richness of their culture, human encounters, nature and landscape make these islands so endearing, that it is hard to leave again.

Tuamotu
Nature at its finest!

The main attraction here is a rich life below the surface. A rich ecosystem, home to rare birds, plants, and crustaceans while infinite schools of marine life fill the iridescent waters.
