Tourist attractions on Tetiaroa
The island
Tiny coral ring, Tetiaroa gives a good idea of
original eden with its white sand beaches and crystallyne lagoon. Nothing
surprising that Marlon Brando, its owner since 1966, fell under its spell when
shooting « Mutiny on the Bounty ».
Unique atoll of the Windward Islands, Tetiaroa is a 4,5 miles diameter, closed
world surrounded by 13 motus (islets) covered with coconut trees, and enclosed
by coral reef. The lack of channel keeps the charm of this atoll intact and a
preserved nature. Among this wonderful set of islets, Tahuna Iti, the birds
island, far from any human population, can be considered as a natural reserve
for sea birds. Frigates, sterns, phaetons (straw tails), brown gannets and
other petrels favour this place for breeding purposes, and can be observed by
discreet visitors.
