Getting There

20-minute private flight from Tahiti (PPT)

The resort is accessible only via Air Tetiaroa, which operates private flights from a private terminal at Faa'a International Airport (PPT) in Tahiti directly to Tetiaroa's airstrip.

The Playbook

Green Sea Turtle Conservation

During nesting season (Oct-Mar), join the resort's resident conservationists at night to patrol the beaches, monitor green sea turtle nesting sites, and count hatchlings.

Good to Know

Complete Isolation & Low Elevation

Tetiaroa is a flat coral atoll, lacking the dramatic volcanic peaks of Bora Bora or Moorea. The resort offers absolute seclusion, where you will not see other hotels or tourists.
