Safety Tips in Îles Tuamotu et Gambier

As in most of the more remote islands of French Polynesia, HOT water is a rarity.

There is not much to warn about in Fakarava. It is one of the safest, friendliest places one could ever visit. The only sign of danger would be if Mother Nature decides to instill her wrath on the islands.

Other than that, if ya want a close shave, gentlemen, ask for a pot of boiled water from the kitchen staff!
