Transportation in the other Tuamotu islands

Amazing white sand beaches lined with coconut trees, crystal clear ocean that’s warm to the touch…The 76 islands and atolls within the Tuamotu Archipelago are spread over an area of more than 2 million sq. km. (700,000 sq. mi.) and where the story of Robinson CRUSOE could truly exist!

Some Tuamotu atolls are just endless white sandy beaches with a few acres of coconut plantations. These mini paradise islands, dotted idyllically amidst the aqua blue ocean, are remote yet easy to reach via boat/plane without having to transit via Papeete.
