Avatoru offers another perspective on the meeting of lagoon and ocean at Rangiroa's northern edge. The channel draws attention to the contrast between the lagoon's enclosed waters and the open Pacific beyond the reef. It suits travelers interested in the atoll's marine geography and offers a second channel setting to consider alongside Tiputa.
