english.islandsadventures.com > Islands > Ahe
Ahe is the neighboring atoll of Manihi, separated by 15 kilometers or so. The famous navigator Bernard Moitessier liked it so much there in the 1970’s that he stayed for a few years, sharing the peaceful life with the inhabitants. They currently live on fishing and copra farming but especially pearl farming which has greatly developed like on Manihi. The lagoon is flecked with pearl farming operations where workers dive every day to clean and then graft the oysters in hopes of harvesting a pearl of exceptional reflections one fine day. As on the other atolls which have dedicated themselves to this activity, grafting demonstrations are offered to visitors. The little village of Tenukupara, which can be reached by boat, can be found on the southwest part of the island. Ahe only has a few family pensions which take their visitors on a discovery tour of the lagoon or the white sand motus. Generally included in the excursion packages are swimming, sunbathing, relaxation and fishing. Ocean outings are very enjoyable and the seashells washed up lifeless on the sand only ask to be gathered…Ahe, steadfastly off the beaten paths, will simply enchant you.
