About this site
Tikehau is one of the atolls of the Tuamotu Archipelago in French Polynesia, its lagoon enclosed by a coral ring reef and connected to the open Pacific through a single pass. Tuheiva refers to a site within this atoll system, reached by boat from the small settlements along the lagoon shore.
