Rangiroa
From the air the atoll of Rangiroa appears as an idyllic collection of shades of blue and green, encircled by brilliant white sandy beaches. The narrow landmass of the island encircles a deep azure lagoon of impossibly clear warm water, a delight for scuba divers because it is rich in marine life. There is onemore small village on this Pacific paradise island, with a pleasant resort hotel under the palms to accommodate those who holiday in Rangiroa.
