"We took our family of 4 and had a lovely time. The location is quiet, peaceful, and remote which we loved. We walked all around the property as much as we pleased and explored the beautiful scenery. The fishing was great and Captain was amazing. They even cooked the fish we caught and the chef was superb. It’s very easy to relax and unwind from the American hustle and bustle at Aotera. The host was very welcoming, friendly and helpful during the whole stay. It definitely was a week in paradise."

"Amenities are very limited (bike and swimming pool) while WiFi is really a disaster, I mean working 1 time over 10 attempts.
Employees are top of the top: very professional and friendly"
"I enjoyed,my stay at Vaa I te Moana. Cynthia is a gem! She is so warm, welcoming and helpful. She directed me to a nearby grocery and gave recommendations for dinner. She arranged for an excursion to the Blue Lagoon with less than 24 hours notice. Her pancakes are fantastic. Breakfast every day was simple but filling and good.
The bungalow was exceptionally clean. I had, in my opinion, the best view as I was on the end. Unfortunately I had to sacrifice good wifi connection for that view, but it's ok. It was quiet being on the end. Go out at night and view the plethora of stars. Amazing!
Maruuru!"
"5/5 Stars – Absolutely perfect stay! Couldn't ask for a better spot on the island.We stayed here from June 11–17, 2026, and it was an unforgettable experience. The property itself is absolutely beautiful and immaculate. Every single room—from the bedrooms to the well-stocked kitchen—was exceptionally clean, and having air conditioning in every room made our stay incredibly comfortable.What truly sets this place apart, though, is the hospitality. Jonathan and Katrina were extraordinary hosts. They were so attentive and went above and beyond to help us plan our trip, giving us top-notch recommendations and helping us find the best spots at both the Blue Lagoon and Reef Island.If you are looking for the perfect place to stay in Tahiti, this is it. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Jonathan and Katrina!"

10/10 Excellent
"Excellent séjour au lodge. Emplacement parfait proche des commodité tout en étant au calme. Les vélos sont un vrai plus pour découvrir l’île. L’activité pêche dans le lagon nous a permis de profiter encore plus de moment. Et que dire de l’accueil: kima est une personne adorable qui nous a ouvert ses portes, belle rencontre et échanges parfaits. Je recommande vivement ce lodge."
"If you are a diver, look no further. If you want to literally get away from it all and live in paradise for a few days, look no further. If you want to do both, then you definitely have to go to Tiputa Lodge. Henry is the owner and he has certainly found a very special part of the world. He’s a fellow scuba diver and is very knowledgeable about the area, let him set you up with Serge, a local dive operator, and you’ll dive some of the most amazing sites ever. We saw dolphins every single day at Tiputa pass. It was legendary. You can ride a bike for 5 min to meet serge at the dock, or Henry will drive you, but I much preferred to bike, made for a cooler experience. Tiputa pass is just a short 5 minutes from the dock. From the moment you leave the lodge, you’re basically in the water within 20 minutes. And after a couple dives, you have a completely private beach at the lodge to spend the rest of the day. Great snorkeling right from shore as well. Make sure to request the waffles for breakfast, they are seriously delicious. The other great thing about Tiputa is that 250 of the nicest people I’ve ever met live there, and that’s an understatement. Everybody waves, says hello (or bonjour), it’s literally a happy little island. Henry couldn’t be a better host too. Just go if you can, I’m hoping I get to return one day. "

"I don’t know what we would have done if the shuttle hadn’t dropped us off at the house and we talked to someone. The lodge and where we were staying was across the street and there is nobody in the house were we were told we were staying. It was a bit odd.
The room itself was fine and there is no complaints. We also had access to the water front across the street, but we didn’t stay at the waterfront house as I thought we booked."
The best area to stay in Avatoru is along the northern stretch of the main island, particularly near the Avatoru Pass and the village itself.
This area is the heart of Avatoru, offering convenient access to the lagoon and the few local amenities. It's characterised by its proximity to the Avatoru Pass, a key area for marine life, and the island's single main road which runs parallel to the lagoon. You'll find most guesthouses and a handful of local shops and eateries concentrated here.
Couples looking for a romantic escape will find this area ideal. Many accommodations offer private bungalows directly on the lagoon, providing stunning views and direct access to the water for snorkelling or swimming. The focus here is on relaxation and enjoying the natural beauty, with opportunities for intimate dinners and quiet strolls.
For those interested in exploring the unique marine environment, staying near the Avatoru Pass is perfect. This location offers easy access to boat excursions for diving and snorkelling, where you can observe the rich underwater ecosystem.
When is the best time to go to Avatoru?
The best time to go to Avatoru is during the dry season, which runs from April to October, offering the most consistently pleasant weather for your visit.
During these months, you can expect clear skies, less humidity, and gentle breezes. This period is ideal for enjoying the atoll's main attractions, such as diving and snorkelling in the clear lagoon. The water temperatures remain warm and inviting, superb for extended time in the water.
This season is particularly good for those planning activities like boat trips to the Pink Sands or exploring the Fakarava Biosphere Reserve, as calmer seas make for more comfortable excursions.
