In 1987 Jacques Cousteau´s research group discovered that the lagoon of Tikehau contains a greater variety of fish species than any other place in French Polynesia. During my visit, I did see a lot fish and the Black Tip Sharks also seem to get enough food.

During my lunch at the beautiful Relais Royal Tikehau, I was watching nine Black Tips swimming in and out of the channel between the two Motus. Amazing animals.
