The Tuamotus, one of five French Polynesian archipelagos, are a 1,000-mile-long chain of coral reef atolls afloat in the heart of the South Pacific. Known for black pearls and sharks and a reputation for being paradise on Earth, Jon and team kayaked among them for five weeks.
Oceania was the last area on earth to be settled by humans, the last to be discovered by Europeans and the last to be both colonized and de-colonized. The word Polynesia means many islands. The Tuamotus are one of five French Polynesian archipelagos. They are some of most remote islands in the world, tiny green oases floating in the desert of the sea. The Tuamotus are composed of 78 distinct coral reef atolls, stretching 930 miles north-northeast of Tahiti. From a distance the islands come and go from sight, thus the dangerous archipelago and labyrinth nicknames. Before satellite navigation, these reefs were the cause of numerous shipwrecks. Since first populated 1,000 years ago, they have known other names: Pakamotu (cloud of islands), Puamotu (dangerous islands) and finally Tuamotu, a Tahitian name meaning distant islands. Kayaking here provided a daily opportunity for absolute disorientation in an idyllic and wild setting, both challenging and beautiful. Jon and team visited both the inhabited and uninhabited, exploring the health of the reefs and the lives of the people who live and depend on these most-remote atolls. From Shark City in the giant lagoon of Rangiroa, to Toau (population 10), to Fakarava where they camped for days on spits of sand. Along the way they dove for pearls, spearfished and cracked open coconuts for milk and meat. These kayakers also discovered that a way of life, both culturally and environmentally, is at great risk here in paradise.
Oceans 8, an ongoing project from writer and adventurer Jon Bowermaster, includes a series of expeditions to explore the world's oceans from the seat of a sea kayak. Used as both transportation and as floating ambassadors, sea kayaks allow Jon and his teams - comprised of some of the world's best photographers, filmmakers, scientists and navigators - to reach corners of the world rarely seen. The goal of each expedition is adventure and education through exploration of local cultures, histories, environmental issues and the future of these varied regions.
