Ahe Travel Guide and Deals
Located between Rangiroa and Manihi, the Ahe atoll is the perfect destination for those that are looking for an authentic Polynesian experience. Flights to Ahe take 2 hours and 20 minutes from Tahiti, via Takaroa.
There is only one pass, Tiareroa, to enter the 70m deep lagoon waters of Ahe. Surrounding the pass are numerous coral drop-offs which make the perfect spot to snorkel or dive with a diverse species of sharks, rays, turtles, napoleon fish, barracudas and more.
These days the locals live mainly from fishing, copra and especially pearl farming which has developed a lot so that Ahe is now renowned as a leader in the pearl farming industry with her pearls having exceptional colours and reflections.
The small village of Tenukupara, which can be reached by boat, is located to the southwest of the island. Ahe has no hotels and just a few guest houses, pensions.
Ahe is also known for its unspoilt nature such as the rare forest Pisonia Grandis and the bird island home to a variety of rare species.
We love the relaxed off the beaten track feel of Ahe. You really feel like you have left the stresses of the world behind and have nothing to worry about except what fish you will catch for dinner!
Ahe will suit those travellers looking for a unique Polynesian experience, away from the hustle and bustle of large hotels, in simple family run guest houses.

What our customers say
Our 'Dreams of Tahiti' Cruise aboard the Windstar Star Breeze has been the best cruise we ever experienced. The destinations, the ship, the staff and the dining couldn't be faulted by us at any time. Prior to our departure, from home, the ETG Liaison agent Lisa was outstanding in her commitment to every detail and ensuring we understood everything of what we were to about to experience. Lisa was very patient with all our requests and her itinerary presentation was first rate. What a great holiday experience !!!
Thank you Entire Travel and especially Lisa. Our Tahiti holiday was amazing from start to finish. From the time of booking until we left, the whole experience was so easy and thorough.. Anytime I rang to ask a question,Lisa and staff were beyond helpful. Once we arrived in Tahiti, the transfers went without a hitch, they were there each and every time, once we arrived on Moorea it was beyond paradise. The Manava Resort was more than we imagined, it was incredible. We loved every second. Thank you Lisa and The Entire Travel Groip and Tahiti Nui.. I will happily recommend you.. Many Thanks Vicki B.. Hunter Valley NSW..☺️
A big thank you to Entire Travel Group with a special thanks to Alison. We had mostly organised our own overseas holidays in the past but being unfamiliar with Canada we thought we would approach a travel agency. Thinking the travel agency would help us we were surprised to be handed a couple of booklets and told to go away and come back when we knew what we wanted to do. One of the booklets was Entire Travel Group so after viewing what was available we decided to contact you directly. That decision changed the Entire course of our traveling experience, excuse the pun. We sent an email to the Entire Group and over the next few days had spoken to Alison who listened, was knowledgeable and responsive to our requests, questions and doubts about travelling to Canada. At the conclusion we had holiday package which we could have only dreamed about. Alison and the team worked wonders and we were extremely happy with a holiday that was brilliant.
Special thanks to Emma from the Canada section of Entire Travel, for listening to our requests & planning our recent superb 4 week holiday - East Coast, Rockies, Vancouver area & InsidePassageCruise. From flights to accommodation & tours - all hit the mark. Thankyou.
Ahe Travel Guide
View AllThis atoll lies between Rangiroa and Manihi. It’s a huge island that makes up part of French Polynesia’s King George Islands. Ahe is 15 kilometres west of Manihi and 76 kilometres northeast of Arutua.
Ahe is a ring-shaped, reef-topped seamount with rocky, sandy shores. It features a shimmering, turquoise lagoon with a thriving marine ecosystem.
You can reach Ahe within an hour on a direct flight from Tahiti. But if you’re travelling to the area from other islands, expect a longer flight.
Ahe has no paved roads, so residents and visitors explore the island on foot or the surrounding area by boat.
Omaru has many cosy, family-run guest houses and pensions to stay in, such as Cocoperle Lodge. This eco-lodge features four Polynesian beachfront bungalows and daily Ahe tours organized by the owners.
Ahe is bestrewn with scenic pearl farms where you can witness how residents harvest and preserve Tahitian black pearls. You’ll see how much dedication and respect the natives have for Ahe’s divine, delicate environment.
Ahe’s picturesque lagoon offers many water-based activities, such as swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding and fishing. Tiareroa Pass is also a great place to go snorkelling, with countless coral drop-offs where you can spot turtles, rays, sharks and other marine creatures.
A perfect sequence of waves draws in surfers from around the world to Ahe. It’s not for the faint-hearted, though. Locals call it “Evasan,” or medical evacuation, because of how risky surfing here is.
Many small motus (islets) surround Ahe. One islet is blanketed by palm trees and unique leafy trees with dense, twisted roots called Pisonia grandis.
A little over 500 people live on this island, making it a less crowded, unspoiled destination.
