Tiputa Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Rupa feeding a turtle some coral while diving the Tiputa Pass in Rangiroa.  There are only a couple of dive sites in Rangiroa, but every day is a unique experience.  Today we saw a turtle, a few dolphins, and a couple dozen white-tipped reef sharks.

Hats off to friendly folks at TOPDIVE, who did a great job getting us back into diving and making sure we were comfortable in the water.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (268 reviews)
Lovely location (beautiful views!) with amazing staff (shout out to Ghislaine!). It is a bit expensive and things like the bike and scooter rentals are add-ons as well, but this is what I'd expect in an isolated area like this. Do recommend!
