Flights to Hao

Find your flight to Hao with Air Tahiti and visit this atoll in the Tuamotu archipelago, 920 km east of Tahiti.

With your flight ticket to Hao, you're about to visit this low-lying island, also known as "l'île de l'Arc" or "l'île de la Harpe". Its lagoon, one of the largest in Polynesia, stretches 55 km from north-west to south-east over an area of 892 km²... an underwater domain offering divers a wealth of riches unknown to the terrestrial world! A unique pass opens up the lagoon to the ocean, the Kaki Pass.

Molluscs, starfish, sea urchins and crustaceans find shelter in the many nooks and crannies of the coral reef, frequented by dolphinfish and silver jacks. These passing guests rub shoulders with the lagoon's regulars (triggerfish, surgeonfish, parrots) in a magnificent mineral setting.

Approached by the Spanish navigator Pedro Fernandez de Quirós in 1606, it was not revisited by European explorers until 162 years later, most notably by Bougainville in 1768, who named it "Ile de la Harpe" because of its configuration. James Cook landed there the following year and named it "Bow Island" for the same reason.

The atoll's main village, Otepa, located on the northern islet 3.5 km from the airfield, has a population of around 1,027.

Hao is the administrative centre of the municipality of the same name and also includes the atolls of Amanu, Reka Reka, Nengo Nengo, Manuhangi, Paraoa, Tauere, Ahunui, Hereheretue, Anuanuraro, Anuanurunga and Nukutepipi.
