About Mataiva
Located at the extreme northwest end of the Tuamotus, Mataiva is a small atoll covered with coconut trees and surrounded by islets such as Motu Teaku, better known as the “bird motu”, which shelters many different sea bird species. Flights to Mataiva are just 55 minutes from Tahiti.
A natural tropical aquarium, Mataiva’s round-shaped lagoon is made up of 70 basins. The “Turtle Rock”, an old coral reef emerging from the lagoon, is a must for visitors willing to learn the secrets of ancient metereology when passing clouds would announce the coming of turtles and therefore the beginning of the hunting season.
