Arutua Atoll

Arutua is an atoll to the east of Rangiroa Atoll in French Polynesia. In the south-east of atoll, there is the only village (Rautini) being located far enough from the airport. The atoll is not very interesting and has no good beaches. The best option is a boat tour around the lagoon visiting motus and sandbanks. Some of them have good swimming and snorkeling on the house reef. Shore and seabed: stones, sand. [edit]
