The Tuamotu Archipelago comprises 78 low islands or coral atolls,
scattered over several hundred miles of the eastern Pacific Ocean
governed by French Polynesia.
Life
on these remote atolls is simple and normally quiet and peaceful.
In the small villages the visitor can discover the true flavor of
the Tuamotu, often participating in the daily activities of the
Paumotu people. The interior lagoons are a haven for black pearl
farms, fish parks, snorkeling and scuba diving.
The
outrigger speed canoe or motor boat is used to reach the distant
motu islets across the lagoon, where the day is spent preparing
copra and searching for colorful seashells.
