Greetings, I was fortunate enough to visit French Polynesia this year (Moorea and Bora Bora). I really enjoyed the diving in Moorea with healthy coral, sharks, etc.
Next year I want to return to dive Fakarava and Rangiroa. I'm thinking 4 days on each island. I'm considering the Havaiki Lodge on Fakarava and the Kia Sofitel on Rangiroa. Probably will go to Fakarava first and then catch flight to Rangiroa. I always like to lodge at better hotel on end of trip. Few Questions:
a. For Fakarava, we'll lodge at the Havaiki Lodge. I would like to dive the North Pass and South Pass. How far is the boat ride to most North Pass sites from Havaiki? How far is the boat ride to the South Pass?
b. We're usually good with just two dives a day. I'm assuming any trip to the South Pass is a full day trip before you get back to North side lodging. What about dives to North Pass though? With 2 dives, what time are you usually back at lodging. Of course, I know this weather dependent.
c. Has anyone lodged at the Havaiki Lodge at Fakarava recently? What are your thoughts? A/C adequate? Food ok?
d. What about Kia Sofitel on Rangiroa? Did you use the dive shop at the hotel? If so, were you pleased with operation?
Thanks is advance for your help.
