AUSTRAL ISLANDS - RURUTU

Rurutu is the most northerly of the Austral Islands, located 355 miles southwest of Tahiti. A very pretty and hilly island with a circumference of 20 miles. Rurutu's main village is called Moerai, and home to the islands 2000 inhabitants.

Rurutu does not have the wide lagoons found in the Society Islands. Limestone grottoes with stalactites and stalagmites invoice explorers. This is great for snorkeling and diving.

The most special attraction and most important to divers are the arrival of the HUMPBACK whales from July through October! Here you are able to get very close on snorkel. This is a very remote place and the accommodation is very basic. Who cares when you have the whales to yourself!
