About this spot
Fakarava is a famous diving atoll in the Tuamotus, acting as a boat-access kite spot. The remote nature of the atoll means uncrowded sessions in little-ridden turquoise waters.
Kiting here typically requires a support vessel or boat launch. The trade winds blow consistently across the vast lagoon, offering endless flat water and a unique wilderness experience in one of the Pacific's most beautiful UNESCO biosphere reserves.
