A Hidden Gem
The Blue Lagoon, located at the northern end of Fakarava, is a place of unreal, almost secret, beauty. Accessible after a peaceful sail along the atoll, it reveals itself as a lagoon within a lagoon. This little corner of paradise is an immaculate white sandbar, encircled by brilliant turquoise water that contrasts with the deep blue of the Pacific Ocean. The lack of waves and its shallow waters make it an ideal spot for swimming and relaxing, where time seems to stand still. It’s the perfect place to recharge, far from everything, and admire the raw, preserved beauty of Polynesian nature.
A Fascinating Marine Nursery
Beyond its idyllic setting, the Blue Lagoon is a true nursery for marine life. Its calm, protected waters serve as a sanctuary for many species of juvenile fish. While snorkeling, you can watch a multitude of small blacktip reef sharks, colorful parrotfish, and jacks swimming peacefully in the crystal-clear water. The marine life here is dense and dynamic, offering a fascinating spectacle for all ages. It’s a total immersion into a vibrant ecosystem—a magical place where nature puts on a lively and unforgettable show.
