Flights to Takapoto
Flying to Takapoto with Air Tahiti means a 1? hour journey to this atoll 560 km from Tahiti. Next to it is its twin island, Takaroa.
This charming little atoll, with no pass, offers a highly protected lagoon, which is the original home of the famous pearl oyster, the "pinctada margaritifera". From 1880 to 1965, Takapoto was one of the largest mother-of-pearl diving centres in the world. Alongside a few pearl farms, copra and fishing are now the main economic activities of the inhabitants.
The village of Fakatopatere, made up of picturesque properties surrounded by flower gardens, stretches along the narrow strip of land between the lagoon and the ocean. The island's main attractions include beautiful white sandy beaches and archaeological sites such as the Takai marae. An ideal place to relax, away from it all...
