Tuamotu Archipelago
The Tuamotu Archipelago is mainly made up of atolls. There are no less than 76 and they extend from east to west over more than 1762km in length!
Tuamotu means "the offshore islands" in Tahitian. The archipelago is indeed offshore several hundred kilometers from Tahiti. It is easily accessible by plane thanks to many airports distributed between the islands. It is also the perfect destination for a catamaran cruise: there are many lagoons and the sailing time is short.
It is possible to visit several Tuamotu islands, by catamaran or plane. Some islands are only accessible by sail boat, as they do not have an airport.
