Rangiroa is a coral atoll in the Tuamotu Archipelago of French
Polynesia. Although the land mass of the entire atoll is only 40 sq
km, the lagoon it surrounds is the second largest in the world, behind
Kwajalein in the Marshall Islands. At 1640 sq km in size, the lagoon
could contain the entire
island of Tahiti. Known for it's incredibly clear waters (60 foot
plus "viz"), year-round warm waters, and abundant sea life, Rangiroa is
a mecca for divers and snorkelers. Rangiroa is about an hour north of
Tahiti by plane.
The only inhabited part is an 10 km string of islets connected by a
series of concrete bridges. There is also a luxury resort in the
southern part of the atoll, accessible only by boat. The sleepy hamlet
of Avatoru contains several high-end resorts, many small pensions and
several scuba center centers. Tiputa, across the brilliantly
named Tuputa pass from the eastern edge of Avatoru, is even quieter.
The lagoon is absolutely gorgeous, with tons of fish. There are several
scuba shops that operate on the atoll. The signature Rangiroa dive
starts at a reef outside of the atoll, where you ride the current of
the incoming tide through the Tiputa pass into the lagoon. On the
way, you will see triggerfish, hammerhead sharks, barracuda, and 5 foot
long mahi-mahi. Additionally, there is beautiful snorkeling if you're
not scuba certified.
Besides diving and snorkling, there are plenty of excursions by boat
available from various small tour operators to various locations such
as Les Sables Roses (Pink Sand Beach, the Reef Islands (a series of
eery-looking coral spires reminiscent of the Trona Pinnacles in the
southern California desert), and the Blue Lagoon, a large lagoon within
a lagoon on the western edge of the atoll.
Don't expect to find a TV, or at least not one receiving much of a
signal. However, Rangiroa is home of the only internet access
point in the entire Tuamotu archipelago!
The locals are friendly and incredibly nice, and all together this is
an atoll you should not miss if you plan to visit French Polynesia!
