Tikehau is located only a few miles away from Rangiroa in the Tuamotu archipelago. Smaller than its neighbor, Tikehau atoll is a near perfect ring formation featuring post card like landscape. The atoll is famous for its lagoon which can be described as a huge natural pool surrounded by pink and white sandy beaches.
 
A 1 hour flight from Tahiti and lying between beautiful “motu” islets and coconut trees, make the most of your stay and discover the incredible underwater life of this turquoise lagoon. Surf addicts will find wonderful waves which will delight both beginners and experts.		 Dive lovers will be entranced by the Tuheiva pass (the unique pass of the island) which displays a fabulous underwater show of rays, sharks, dolphins and multicolored fish.
 
Once out of the water, be amazed by a beautiful symphony of seabirds. Around these pink sand islets watch colonies of boobies, tropic terns, noddi birds and fregate birds. Here you will understand why the island has been nicknamed “Bird Island”.
Take a walk around Tuherahera village or relax on the beach. The place will instill a feeling of heaven.
