The second largest atoll in the Tuamotus, Fakarava has regular air service from Papeete. Its famed Garue Pass offers one of the best drift dives in French Polynesia, full of sharks (hammerhead, too) and large pelagic life. The local dive shop is excellent, and there are several places to stay on the main motu (island). Black pearl jewelry is for sale locally.
