Translated from the local language Ticehau means "Parking of the World" And it is difficult to disagree with this, looking at the shape of the island:
Ticehau is 300 kilometers from Tahiti. The width of the atoll ranges from 300 meters to 1 kilometer, in the center there is a lagoon. This lagoon is just a paradise for diving and snorkeling lovers, there is a huge amount of a variety of fish. In 1987, a great researcher of the underwater world was visited by Ticehau - Kusto, who was simply amazed by the wealth of the underwater world. He revealed more than three hundred fish species. Naturally, all activity is focused on water sports. In addition to loving skates, dolphins, sharks, turtles and other marine inhabitants, you can rent a boat and take a small seabed around the atoll - 26 km. Or to divide in the open ocean. Lovers are simply sought and sunbathing to taste local two-color beaches from snow-white and pink sand.
Sea birds nest on one of the coral islets, they are absolutely not afraid of a person and quietly let me know to familiarize themselves with their lifestyle.
There are several settlements on Ticehau. The main occupation of the local residents is fishing, the cultivation of black pearls and the production of copers - the main raw material in the production of margarine, glycerin, soap, etc. And just recently added another type of earnings - tourism. The local population is absolutely not spoiled and not perceived by the tourist (unlike other more developed islands) as a dairy cow. They are very friendly, friendly and always ready to come to the rescue. Their ineffectiveness and unspoance of civilization bribes.
Well, if the beach lay on the beach and I want to dispel - you can smear one of the largest atolls - rangiroa. Here are shops, bars, restaurants - nightlife hits the key. Feel this contrast - just one hour on the boat shares privacy and calm from entertainment and noise.
Holidays on Ticehau is possible all year round - there is no change of seasons, and the monsoons bypass this place by the party. Atoll offers, a kind, grounding for a resident of the city jungle. Time just ceases to exist. There is only you and nature. Being on Ticehau you can forget your name, so we break away from reality. The island is relaxing and simultaneously fills the forces. And after returning home, a happy smile will not go from your face for a long time.
