Excellent access to some of the best diving in the world. Located right on the water and Tumakahoa pass, this location is right on shark alley and some of the most beautiful coral I’ve seen. The property is rustic but over the water and right on the reef. It is a lot like camping. Cold showers, no locking doors, damp bedding when it rains and few amenities are all part of the experience. The boat ride from Fakarava north is a little more than an hour and can really only be done in the daytime. Our flight was delayed so we had to stay in Fakarava north, which was fully booked and ended up paying for tetamanu and the pension on the north side. The staff is friendly but don’t go out if their way in hospitality. We had to ask for basics like toilet paper and they couldn’t accomodate any dietary requests or snacks when it wasn’t time for a scheduled meal. You eat what they serve, which is pancakes and fish for the most part. It was all delicious though. The dive guides were very nice and showed us some of the most incredible diving I have experienced. For me it was a special experience, but not appropriate for people that need extra care or a honeymoon type of experience like on Moorea or bora bora.

Tetamanu Village is a place to go if you want a one of a kind diving experience. The “wall of sharks” is spectacular! All the staff are warm and friendly. The accommodations are what I would describe as rustic. No hot water, but not uncomfortably cold water from the shower. Each bungalow has its own private deck overlooking the very shallow ocean water, that you can snorkel directly from. You won’t go hungry, the food is plentiful at breakfast, lunch, and dinner, served family style. I suggest bringing good silicone earplugs, the roosters make noise all night long.

This simple guesthouse is very remote and basic, but I would definitely stay here again. Our fare (traditional bungalow) was modest, but comfortable and charming and set on the water's edge. Meals consisted mostly of fish, rice, chicken and pasta. The staff was wonderful and the diving spectacular.

It was amazing to see the sharks from your room. The room was reasonable and modest for being in the middle of no where. The Island was clean. There were boats and roosters that woke us up early. Several large groups over a few days made the buffet style dinning stressful. No snacks in between meals and the showers don't have hot or fresh water. No red wine or place to buy snacks. It was a gorgeous spot these are the issues that may be problematic.

If you like putting your mask underwater and exploring an amazing coral reef in a completely untouristy location with such a wondeful and friendly staff then you have come to the right place. We will definitely return to Tetamanu village. This is not a grandiose 5 star resort- but rather a unique immersion into a simplifeid lifestyle of exploring underwater or a desolate motu with coral sand, community dining and sleeping in simple bungalows on the beach. Clean but rustic, no hot water for showers but you will not miss them. This is the "real" Polynesia
