The Island of Dreams
By Linda Tancs
Home to the second largest lagoon in the Tuamotu atolls, Fakarava is affectionately known as French Polynesia’s Island of Dreams. A UNESCO Marine Biosphere Reserve, it’s prized for its multicolored coral as well as for its school of sharks in the Tumakohua Pass. Not surprisingly, these assets present irresistible diving opportunities, the most popular activity on the island. Rotoava is the main village, and there are regular flights there from Tahiti.
