Tikehau Island Travel Guide and Deals
Tikehau is located 300 km north east of the island of Tahiti and flights to Tikehau take just 55 minutes from Tahiti.
Tikehau is one of the most beautiful atolls in French Polynesia, it forms an almost unbroken circle, 26 kilometres across, creating a unique ecosystem and the highest concentration of fish of all the atolls. It attracts the majestic Manta Rays who come to the lagoon waters to be cleaned by the little cleaner fish!
Tikehau also had a fabulous snorkelling coral garden site as well as many fabulous dive sites where you will see reef sharks, barracudas, dolphins, sea turtles and many more species.
The pink sand beaches take in many bird colonies that have sought refuge in the small islands scattered in the lagoon, including the aptly named Island of Birds, well known for its red-footed gannets and brown noddies.
Tikehau will offer you the opportunity to enjoy the traditional Polynesian way of life, exploring the lagoon, the Island of Birds or the villages, by kayak, foot, bicycle, or sailboat.

We recently had a great family of 6 adventure to the West coast of Canada. Thankyou to Sam from the Entire Travel team who took all the planning hassles away from us.

It’s an adventure we will talk about for years to come.
Lisa planned and booked our trip to Bora Bora in October 2025. We stayed at the Intercontinental Thalasso in an OWB for 5 nights. She was very professional, helpful and knowledgable. Examples are: comparing different hotels vs price, avoiding high seasons and Monsoon seasons, flying outside of school holidays etc. Lisa also organised all of our pick-ups, transfers and layovers - resulting in a perfect holiday experience compared to DIY. Thanking Lisa at Entire Travel Group. Don
We had a perfect trip to Sri Lanka through Entire travel. Tina was amazing at working around our already made plans while also creating an itinerary that we could never have planned ourselves. She was willing to jump in and fix things quickly when something came up and was so easy to deal with when I had a million questions. Absolutely recommend the sri lanka tour, we had an absolute blast!
