Takaroa Lagoon
Vibrant turquoise waters visible immediately after takeoff from the northern motu.
Teavaroa Pass
The deep blue channel that serves as the only entrance for ships into the Takaroa lagoon.
Fakatopatopa Village
The charming main settlement of Takapoto appearing as the aircraft approaches the southern runway.
For the best photography of the lagoon's coral heads, opt for a morning flight when the sun is behind you. Sit behind the wing on the ATR-42 to ensure the landing gear doesn't block your view of the atoll rim.

Outer Coral Rim
A birds-eye view of the protective reef structures and breaking Pacific waves.
The Great Blue
The stark contrast where the shallow reef drops off into the thousands-of-meters-deep Pacific.
Takapoto Airstrip
A unique perspective of the landing strip that spans the width of the narrow island motu.
The right side is excellent for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the tropical sun. Keep your camera ready as soon as the engines roar; the flight duration is often less than 15 minutes.
