Lagon Bleu (Blue Lagoon, Fakarava North-West)
16° 7.5′ S · 145° 48.5′ W
A reef-enclosed 'natural swimming pool' on the remote west rim beyond Garuae Pass, reached on a local family's day trip with grilled fish, a coconut-husking demonstration and easy snorkeling.
Practical
The 2025 brief recommends a day with a local provider from the Pufana anchorage: grilled fish lunch, coconut demonstrations, a motu walk and snorkeling, with shallow water ideal for beginners and children. Ask the tourism committee on the Rotoava quay for current provider contacts. Not a yacht anchorage: it lies outside the designated zones.
