Location
Motu Teta’s Co-ordinates – 15°18'17.04"S, 147°23'53.30"W.
Rangiroa, with its 42 mile long by 16 mile wide, turquoise and jade-green lagoon, is the largest atoll in the Tuamotu Archipelago and the second largest in the world. From the air, the atoll appears as a giant pearl necklace laid upon the ocean, in a world where 240 tiny islets, or Motus, each no more than three feet in elevation, lay upon the ocean for more than 110 miles completely encircling an infinitely deep lagoon.
Only an hour's flight from Tahiti, Papeete’s International Airport (PPT), Rangiroa offers sunshine, white coral beaches and an immense playground for water sport activities. Lagoon excursions include amazing snorkeling amongst thousands of colorful fish, of all shapes and sizes, together with 3 or 4 varieties of sharks – that elegantly and harmlessly cruise by. The Rangiroa lagoon and the pass are also world famous for unsurpassed scuba diving which is available through professional diving centers and can be pre-arranged.
