Pension Tiputa Lodge Rangiroa

If you are a diver, look no further. If you want to literally get away from it all and live in paradise for a few days, look no further. If you want to do both, then you definitely have to go to Tiputa Lodge. Henry is the owner and he has certainly found a very special part of the world. He’s a fellow scuba diver and is very knowledgeable about the area, let him set you up with Serge, a local dive operator, and you’ll dive some of the most amazing sites ever. We saw dolphins every single day at Tiputa pass. It was legendary. You can ride a bike for 5 min to meet serge at the dock, or Henry will drive you, but I much preferred to bike, made for a cooler experience. Tiputa pass is just a short 5 minutes from the dock. From the moment you leave the lodge, you’re basically in the water within 20 minutes. And after a couple dives, you have a completely private beach at the lodge to spend the rest of the day. Great snorkeling right from shore as well. Make sure to request the waffles for breakfast, they are seriously delicious. The other great thing about Tiputa is that 250 of the nicest people I’ve ever met live there, and that’s an understatement. Everybody waves, says hello (or bonjour), it’s literally a happy little island. Henry couldn’t be a better host too. Just go if you can, I’m hoping I get to return one day.

Great location, comfortable accommodations, and a very friendly host made our stay just excellent. Thank you, Henry!

My wife and I had the pleasure of staying at Rangiroa Tiputa Lodge for part of our honeymoon. Henry was a fantastic host, super friendly and very helpful! Henry helped to per-arrange all the transportation from the airport - stress free. Prior to arriving, Henry even helped us with arranging the excursions. To our delight, we had access to our own private beach. What a view! We had delicious breakfast delivered to us every morning. He also offered to help us get our delicious local home cooked dinners ahead of time. We can't say enough good things about this part of our trip. It was definitely a highlight! We hope to cross paths again in the future.

It was so nice landing at the airport, he had a taxi waiting for us, took us the the pier and a 2 min boat ride to his pier, where Henry was waiting with a big smile :) He gave us a tour of the little island and every day we rode his bikes to the pier to take the taxi to our dive boat and back after having a delicious homemade breakfast. The view from the room is amazing and we watched the sunset at the beach on the property every night . We absolutely adored Henry !! He went diving with us and was so kind. We will definitely be back

Henri was an exceptional coast from beginning to end. his property is quiet and remote on a very quiet and remote island. The ferry is easy. He has bicycles to tour of the island. wash tanks for dive here a lovely gym and pergola by the beach. breakfast is homemade continental. he helped us with dinner at the only restaurant on the island. We felt very pampered throughout our entire trip. He paid attention to every detail.
