Première expérience pour nous avec Vialala, et pas des moindres puisque nous avons fait un road trip à travers l'Italie avec nos enfants. Natacha nous a concocté un voyage aux petits oignons, adapté à notre demande et à l'âge de nos enfants. Tout était adapté et parfait : les villes visitées, la durée, les monuments sélectionnés, les transports. Bref aucune fausse note et quel gain de temps et d'énergie pour nous. Plus qu'à se laisser porter et visiter ce magnifique pays en famille. Nous recommandons sans hésiter.

Why choose Fakarava for your custom travel in French Polynesia?
Fakarava embodies the very essence of exceptional travel in French Polynesia. Situated 450 kilometers northeast of Tahiti, this second largest atoll of the Tuamotu archipelago spans 1,121 square kilometers of lagoon for only 16 square kilometers of emerged land. Listed as a biosphere reserve by UNESCO since 2006, Fakarava preserves an extraordinarily rich ecosystem, making it a preferred destination for travelers seeking authenticity.
Your trip to Fakarava will literally transport you to the ends of the earth, away from tourist crowds. The atoll hosts an exceptional marine biodiversity in its crystal-clear waters, where gray sharks, manta rays, and a multitude of endemic species thrive. The two main passes, Garuae in the north and Tumakohua in the south, are among the most renowned diving spots in the world.
The Polynesian authenticity is fully expressed in Fakarava through its 855 inhabitants who perpetuate ancient traditions. You will discover a preserved lifestyle, paced by fishing, black pearl cultivation, and the warm welcome of local families. This responsible tourism approach allows for an immersive experience while contributing to the sustainable development of the community.
What to do during your customized stay in Fakarava?
Your stay in Fakarava can be tailored to your desires, from spectacular underwater adventures to enriching cultural discoveries. The atoll offers a range of unique experiences that our Travel Planners will adapt to your specific expectations.
Diving and exploration of the seabed
The seabed of Fakarava is a true natural sanctuary where diving takes on an exceptional dimension. The Garuae pass, 1,600 meters wide, offers unforgettable drift dives among hundreds of gray sharks. These sea giants gather especially between June and August during their breeding season, creating a striking natural spectacle.
The southern pass of Tumakohua, narrower at 200 meters wide, reveals the famous "shark wall" where these predators move in impressive schools. Experienced divers will appreciate the sometimes strong currents that allow for observation of giant barracudas, large groupers, and hawksbill turtles in their natural environment.
For snorkeling enthusiasts, the lagoon offers ideal conditions with visibility reaching up to 60 meters. The multi-colored coral gardens host butterflyfish, angelfish, and surgeonfish in a permanent colorful ballet. The isolated motus are perfect bases for exploring these aquatic wonders in peace.
Land and cultural discoveries
Your customized trip to Fakarava also reveals the atoll's terrestrial treasures. The main village of Rotoava, with its 600 inhabitants, retains Polynesian authenticity through its pink coral church and small family businesses. A bike ride along the only road takes you through coconut groves to the south's pink sand beaches, a rare natural phenomenon due to coral fragments.
The visit of family-owned pearl farms offers a fascinating cultural experience. You will discover the traditional techniques of cultivating black pearls of Tahiti, from the insertion of the nucleus to the final harvest. These authentic encounters with local pearl farmers enrich your understanding of the island economy. p>
The old village of Tetamanu, accessible by boat, houses a Catholic church built entirely of coral in 1874. This unique architectural testimony illustrates the adaptation of the first missionaries to the local materials available. The surrounding ruins tell the story of this former administrative center abandoned in favor of Rotoava.

FAQ Fakarava
How long should you plan for a custom trip to Fakarava?
A minimum stay of 4 to 5 days allows you to explore the essentials of Fakarava: diving in the two main passes, visiting the village of Rotoava, and relaxing on the pink sand beaches. For a complete experience including cultural excursions and an in-depth exploration of the seabed, we recommend 7 to 10 days. This optimal duration also allows you to appreciate the island lifestyle without haste.
What budget should you plan for a personalized trip to Fakarava?
The budget for a custom trip to Fakarava varies depending on your accommodation and activity requirements. Count on between 150 and 300 euros per person per day for a family pension on full board, including local transfers. Diving activities represent an additional budget of 60 to 80 euros per outing. Our Travel Planners adapt the services to your budget to optimize your experience without compromising on authenticity.
How to get around Fakarava during a custom stay?
Travel in Fakarava is mainly done by bike, the ideal means of transportation to explore the 14 kilometers of paved road of the atoll. Most pensions provide bikes free of charge to their guests. To reach remote sites like Tetamanu or isolated motus, boat excursions can be organized with local providers. Our Travel Planners include these nautical transfers in your personalized program based on your interests.
