Port de Raraka Office
16° 5.5′ S · 144° 57.2′ W
A small harbour office in Motupapu, mapped as 'Port de Raraka', by the mairie. Ask here about the pass, the schooner and where to tie up.
Practical
Coordinate from OpenStreetMap (office=government, 'Port de Raraka'). No hours or contacts are published. If it's closed, try the mairie next door. The pass is narrow and shallow with a strong permanent outflow (White Princess 2010), so ask locals about current timing before you try it. Raraka depends administratively on Kauehi (commune of Fakarava). It is not a port of entry.
