Avatoru Village
Avatoru
Rangiroa's main village, where the airport, guesthouses, dive shops, a small supermarket and a Catholic church are all concentrated along this narrow, 10-km-long island.
Avatoru lies on the main island in the northwest of the atoll. A single road links the airport, the hotel area and the village, making it the center of island life and accommodation. It has a post office, a bank (with limited ATMs), a small supermarket, snack bars and pearl shops. The village has a charming coral-stone Catholic church, and the harbor offers views of fishing boats coming and going. You can rent a bicycle or electric scooter and ride the road, with ocean waves on one side and the calm lagoon on the other. In the evening, watch the sunset from the lagoon side.
