Stretching over twenty kilometers south of Rangiroa island, this coral formation also called "FEO" in "Paumotu" (Tuamotu language) is also important and exceptional, because it serves as a barrier against the strong southern winter swell, thus slowing down the erosion of our "motu" (islets). This unique and impressive landscape transports us to the stars with its craters that look as if they were formed by meteorite impacts, thus creating natural basins filled with crystal-clear water.

This excursion offers a day trip with a barbecue to discover the blue lagoon, a small lagoon surrounded by small islands, inside the Rangiroa atoll. The shallow depth of the water creates a wide palette of blue and makes it a natural site of exceptional beauty.
