If you feel you’re a long way from home in Tahiti, it’s nothing compared to how you’ll feel when contemplating the reef from your bungalow on this atoll in the Tuamotus, one of French Polynesia’s most far-flung island groups. Paying more to be over the water is worth it here for the fish alone; Jacques Cousteau’s researchers once called Tikehau’s lagoon the most abundant with fish in the Tuamotus.
