Takapoto Pearl Farms
Aerial view of the geometric pearl farming structures submerged in the crystal-clear Takapoto lagoon.
Enclosed Lagoon Rim
Takapoto's unique nearly-closed coral rim, which creates a pristine and isolated marine environment.
Inter-Island Channel
The short stretch of deep ocean between these two 'sister' atolls, often showing distinct wave patterns against the reef.
The flight is extremely short (often under 15 minutes), so have your camera ready the moment the wheels leave the ground. The right side captures the full 'donut' shape of Takapoto as you climb, which is one of the most symmetrical atolls in the Tuamotus.

The deep blue navigable channel that serves as the only major entrance to the Takaroa lagoon.
Teavaroa Village
The main settlement of Takaroa, visible with its quaint houses and wharf along the lagoon edge.
Takaroa Lagoon
A vast expanse of vibrant turquoise water contrasting sharply against the deep indigo of the open Pacific.
Choose the left side for the best view of the human element of the islands, including the village of Teavaroa and the boats entering the pass. The morning sun (for early flights) will illuminate the lagoon floor beautifully from this angle.
