Manihi is a small atoll in the Tuamotu Archipelago of French Polynesia. It is located in the southeastern part of the archipelago, approximately 250 miles northeast of Tahiti. The atoll is composed of 12 islets, and has a total land area of 2.5 square miles.
The population of Manihi is around 400 people. The primary language spoken is French, although some of the locals also speak Tahitian. The main industry on the atoll is pearl farming, with many of the locals working in the pearl industry.
Manihi has a rich history, beginning with its discovery by Europeans in 1767. The first European to visit the island was the French explorer Louis-Antoine de Bougainville, who named the island after a Tahitian chief. The island was later annexed by France in 1881, and was part of the French colonial empire until 1946.
Throughout its history, Manihi has been a popular destination for travelers. In the early 20th century, the island became a popular destination for wealthy travelers looking for a tropical paradise. It was also the site of the first pearl farm in the Tuamotu Archipelago.
Today, Manihi is still a popular destination for travelers looking for a tropical paradise. The island offers a range of activities, including snorkeling, fishing, and kayaking. The locals are friendly and welcoming, and the island is known for its stunning beaches and crystal clear waters. Manihi is the perfect destination for those looking to get away from it all and relax in a tropical paradise.
