The preservation of the ocean has been a priority for the government of French Polynesia for over ten years. It declared The Islands of Tahiti a sanctuary for marine mammals in 2006 and made sharks a protected species in 2006. Fakarava, together with 6 other atolls in the Tuamotu Islands, (Taiaro, Toau, Aratika, Kauehi, Niau and Raraka), was classed as a UNESCO biosphere reserve in 2009. The most luxurious way to visit The Islands of Tahiti is on a superyacht. Navigating from one island to the next, stopping to explore the wonderful underwater world in the lagoons and the archeological sites in the mountainous interiors. And then you weigh anchor and set sail for the next port of call. It’s like island hopping in a five star hotel.
