and onto Tuamotus
Mangareva is the largest island in the group and Rikitea is the only population center of any size. Rikitea also has a well-protected harbor, so all the yachties stay there. Below is the Google Earth image of the Atoll of the Gamier Islands. If you copy the co-ordinates of Rikitea into Google Earth, you will be able to navigate the area around the Atoll yourself and check out some of the photos taken in the area.
