Atoll visitors can book half- or full-day outings, customizing their experience with options like swimming with mantas, exploring pristine coral gardens, surfing, beach picnics, and even learning to spearfish.

Stayed
Travelers keen on soaking in the serenity of a tropical over-water bungalow experience will find a top-notch collection at the Le Tikehau by Pearl Resorts, where guests can splurge on a luxurious and spacious over-water suite. Snorkelers will have no trouble spotting colorful fish -- and likely timid reef sharks -- swimming in the waters right below their private decks. And those who'd rather overnight on terra firma can chose from a range of beach bungalows or blow it out with a villa, equipped with its own pool.

Nibbled
Le Tikehau's Poreho Restaurant is an open-air venue awash with the atoll's warm ocean breeze, serving up breakfast, lunch and dinner for resort guests. The menu is an assembly of French Polynesian favorites -- like poisson cru and sashimi -- but you'll also find more creative dishes and, of course, no shortage of fresh island fruit and seafood. Fans of French pastry are most certainly in luck as breakfast is a chance to load up on delicious, expertly-crafted croissant and pain au chocolat.
