Located in the Tuamotu Islands, Fakarava is the second-largest atoll of French Polynesia after Rangiroa, measuring 60 km long by 21 km wide.
Fakarava is a peaceful shark paradise and one of the best place to go diving in French Polynesia.
Fakarava has two passes on the opposite sides of its inner lagoon: the Garuae Pass in the north and the Tumakohua Pass in the south. The plankton growing inside the lagoon escapes by these natural gates through the reef and attracts pelagic species in numbers.
These passes and their abundant shark populations are what made the Tuamotu Islands famous worldwide. Due to its exceptional ecosystem, Fakarava Atoll and its neighbouring islets are a registered UNESCO biosphere reserve.
We’ll spend time at sea every single day with 2 dives, looking for sharks and all other marine species we can encounter. We’ll also spend the last day visiting the Pink Sand Beach.
