Manihi is located 200km from Rangiroa and flights to Manihi take 1 hour and 40 minutes from the island of Tahiti. The oval shaped atoll is about 27km around and 8km across. The lagoon of Manihi is dotted with coral, which attracts an amazing variety and abundance of fish! Manihi offers the experiences of a tropical island, in a heavenly setting where palm trees line the white sand beaches.

The lagoon waters are warm, clear and inviting and are well known among snorkellers and divers for their beautiful and diverse marine life. Manihi also has ancient marae sites located at the north and south ends.

The main activity in Manihi is black pearl farming, with more than 60 farms which produce some of the most perfect pearls you can find due to the exceptional climate and environment of Manihi.

We love the untouched beauty of many of the motus in Manihi. The fish life is unbelievable and the snorkelling some of the best we’ve done!

Manihi will suit those travellers looking for a quiet, remote and unique experience in a paradise setting! There are no hotels on the atoll and just a scattering of small pensions, allowing you to immerse in the Polynesian way of life.
