An impressive underwater ecosystem - Tahiti TourismeA giant aquarium
Classed as a whale and marine mammal sanctuary since 2002, The Islands of Tahiti boast an incredible array of marine wildlife spread across nearly 5 million square kilometers. You’re likely to meet colorful school of fish during your daily swim or spot a sea turtle when you’re out paddling your kayak. But, let’s not forget the sharks! There are about twenty different species of shark in our waters: the blacktip reef shark, the silvertip, the lemon shark… However, the most graceful and fascinating of all is the magnificent manta ray, known to the Polynesians as the fafapiti.
