Grey sharks, turtles, tuna, jacks, giant barracuda and dolphins regularly visit this deep water section of the coral reef.

This is the northernmost point in Bora Bora, with a wonderful beach (although limited in access).

## Transportation

After arriving in Fa'a'ā International Airport, an Air Tahiti inter-island flight (50 minutes) will bring you to Bora Bora Airport.
