An island with the volcanic peak of Mount Otemanu rising above a turquoise lagoon ringed by small islands (motu) with overwater bungalows. Snorkel with rays and blacktip sharks on lagoon tours.
It's very expensive; guesthouses on the main island are cheaper. Flights from Tahiti take 50 minutes.
A lush island 30 minutes by ferry from Tahiti, with jagged peaks, Cook's Bay and Ōpūnohu Bay, and the Belvedere lookout.
Tahiti's capital has a covered market selling fruit, flowers and black pearls, and roulottes (food trucks) in the evening.
One of the largest atolls in the world, in the Tuamotus, famous for diving the Tiputa Pass, where dolphins and sharks ride the currents.
