With its 42 mile long by 16 mile wide turquoise lagoon, Rangiroa is all about seclusion and serenity. The largest atoll in the Tuamotu Archipelago from the air Rangiroa looks like a giant pearl necklace laid upon the water. Here is a world where 240 tiny islets, or motu, each no more than three feet in elevation, lay upon the ocean for more than 110 miles completely encircling an infinitely deep lagoon. Surrounded by Moana-tea (Peaceful Ocean) and Moana-uri (Wild Ocean), Rangiroa offers tourists a unique insight into the South Pacific way of life. Charming beachside villages, craft stalls, local restaurants, and tiny shops provide enjoyable land-based experiences to coincide with the many exciting and relaxing activities awaiting the visitor in the lagoon. An aquatic wonderland, Rangiroa’s tropical fauna and flora form some of the most amazing colour patterns imaginable. One of the world's greatest dive destinations, Rangiroa is also famous for its glass bottomed boat rides, deep sea fishing, pearl farms, winery and pink beach.
