More About Tikehau
Tikehau, often referred to as "The Pink Sand Island," is part of the Tuamotu archipelago. It features numerous small islets with white and pink sand, surrounded by coconut groves and secluded alcoves. The lagoon, encircled by nearly continuous coral, resembles a vast natural swimming pool filled with marine life. The island also hosts various exotic bird species, including the blue noddy, brown noddy, red-footed booby, and lesser frigatebird. The name Tikehau translates to "peaceful landing," perfectly reflecting the tranquility found on its serene shores.

General Safety Tips: By taking a few simple security precautions before and during your vacation, you can help ensure that you, your traveling companions, and your valuables are as safe and secure as possible.
- To make it easier to replace your passport if it’s lost or stolen, in addition to your passport, take a photocopy of your passport information page (keeping it separate from your actual passport).
- Carry only a limited amount of cash, just enough for gratuities and incidental purchases. Major credit cards are widely accepted and can be replaced if lost or stolen.
- Always lock your hotel room door (including patio and balcony door on any level of the building) and use the peephole before opening the door.
- Store your valuables (such as cash, credit cards and airline tickets) in the hotel’s in-room safe or front desk safety deposit box.
- If you must carry valuables on your person, do so in a pouch or money belt concealed under your clothing. Purses and backpacks can be easy targets for thieves.
- For complete and current safety and security information, including travelers' tips, public announcements, travel advisories and more, please visit the website of the U.S. Department of State at www.travel.state.gov.
