There are Camping in Rangiroa?

silvanocat18:45 UTC15 Oct 2007

My guidebook (David Stanley, which is several years old) says that there is camping at Chez Punea et Moana in Avatoru village. He says that it's right by the road and can be noisy from the activities of the surrounding village. He warns that you should watch your gear there. The price he quotes is 3000 cfp with half board. It may be possible to camp on their property on Lagon Vert which is 10 minutes away by boat (according to the old LP guide that I have).

Yes. there is a bank on Rangiroa. If you are going around Easter be aware that the banks are closed on Good Friday and Easter Monday. Also don't count on ATMs or your ATM card working there.

I did the drift snorkel through the pass with Cosetta and Pascal. Very exciting!

I also went to the blue lagoon which is a lagoon within the lagoon and incredibly beautiful. Rays and little reef sharks everywhere. They did a shark feeding and you could get in the water while the lemon sharks were being fed (or watch from the boat like I did).

Teina et Marie as mentioned in LP has closed for camping.

Pension Nanua has camping for around 1700francs. Friendly people but kitchen is a little primitive.

Further down the Taputa island is a pension with camping. Ask around and they'll pick you up with a boat. A nice place but rather deserted.

Yes there is a bank on Rangiroa but its easier and better just to change in Papeete.

This is the best site I've seen for accom in FP in general. I left the French site for you as I thought it might be easier for you, but it comes in about 6 languages, I think. Just hit the appropriate flag at the top of the page. It shows camping, but I didn't check beyond that.
