Rangiroa

"In the heaven, i want to find Rangiroa"

According to my opinion, this is the most beautiful island of the Pacific, from all the point of view. It's also the most touristic one. It will give you the possibility to do all those activities which a real holidaymaker always dreams to do: nap, tanning, swimming, walks,and of course, diving. For the adventurers, there's a hotel which has some bungalow on a uninhabitaed part. Quietness guaranteed.
The two footbridges and the inside of the laggon are a dream for the divers, and for beginners too. You can find all kinds of fishes there.

Concerning the accomodation, i suggest you the boarding house called 'Chez Glorine'. It's a kind of self-catering holiday cottage with full board. There you have fish both at lunch or at dinner, but it's always cooked in a different way. After this experience, you won't speak about fish in the same way. It's a one star house which offers 6 bungalows with full or half board. It's one of my best memories.

The main activity is the diving, and its point of reference is the Raie Manta Club of Rangiroa.

As for the rest, there're not many things to do. I don't think that this is the best holiday place for those who always want to visit something and who get bored on the beach.

	The atoll is composed by a coral barrier which forms a misshapen ring.

	View of the passage of Tiputa (the ideal larder for sharks)
	If you like nature and animals in the wild there's nothing like feeding them and to see them pecking at your hands. It's the best occasion to see thm close up. Anyway be careful because when you've finished the food they'll continue to follow you... One of my best memories (after having been pursued by a raimora, i finally understood that it didn't want to eat me and that it was just 20 centimetres long).
