Marlon Brando- Tetiaroa, French Polynesia, Tahiti

Marlon Brando first “discovered” Tetiaroa in the early 1960′s while scouting locations for the classic film “Mutiny on the Bounty”. The atoll is located 33 miles (53 km) north of Tahiti. The atoll stretches on a total surface of 2.3 square miles (6 square km); approximately 1,445 acres (585 hectares) of sand are divided in 13 motus (islets) with varying surface areas. The lagoon is approximately 4.5 miles (7 km) wide and 100 feet (30 meters) deep. The atoll has no reef opening, making access by boat nearly impossible.
