Tombant de Papeari
★★★★☆
(83)
This reef drop-off is covered with gorgonians and soft coral. Without fail you’ll see schools of chubs and paddletail snappers at a depth of 20m. In the deep blue you might just meet mackerel scads being chased by bonito or tuna. Spadelfish (paraha peue) are regular to this spot!
The coral is otherwise magnificent – every species seem to be here! Researchers from the CRIOBE come to this site from Moorea to study corals.
