Katiu atoll

Ultimate guide (October 2025)
Katiu is an atoll to the east of Rangiroa Atoll, French Polynesia. Domestic flight connection is irregular and extremely rare, making it to be totally untouristic destination. In fact, there's nothing to do here. Beaches are rather mediocre by Polynesian standards. However, atoll's lagoon have some pleasant sandbanks. But there is nothing special about it. Shore and seabed: stones, sand. [edit]
