Fafarua & scuba diving in Tikehau
To cut waiting times and give you the best diving conditions, Fafarua partners with the atoll’s main clubs. Stay on the motu until the last moment: we then take you straight to the day’s dive site.
Our diving partners in Tikehau
Once booked, you meet at the pass. The club prepares your gear; the transfer is on our boat, more comfortable than a dive boat loaded with equipment.
Te Fafarua, all the way to the dive site
On the way, Te Fafarua offers spacious seating so you arrive in good shape. The transfer stays private: the boat is reserved for your group, with no wait at the village centre.
Concierge service and unhurried diving
We can book your dives and arrange meeting times. After your dive we collect you for tea or a drink, then return to the motu for lunch. This shuttle is included only for Fafarua experience guests. Diving centre services cost extra.
