Then, you can take the road to the Tuamotu archipelago, where small sandbanks placed on myriads of blues will allow you to cut yourself off for a few moments from the world. The Tikehau Atoll will surely surprise you with its white and pink sand and activities such as snorkeling, surfing, and scuba diving. Maupiti is a true tropical haven of peace where calm is honored.
