1 ~~~ AirPano ~ Marlon Brando's Tetiaroa atoll. French Polynesia ~~~ 37
Roughly 50 km north of Tahiti lies the beautiful island of Teti'aroa atoll.
This is the atoll of Marlon Brando, who started to lease it back in the 1960s after having discovered it from the top of a mountain in Tahiti
while he was shooting the movie Mutiny on the Bounty.
After this very first visual contact, he found a local fisherman who took him to Teti'aroa in his boat.
You need to know that this atoll has no natural opening, so-called "pass", so that you have to make landfall by coming with the waves —
you carefully have to choose the right rhythm and match the cycle of the breaking wave and glide into the protected shallow lagoon from the open ocean.
This feat was not realized when Marlon Brando arrived with the fisherman and they capsized and scratched themselves on the sharp corals.
Covered in blood, Marlon Brando finally made it to the atoll that would become one of his greatest love affairs.
He found Teti'aroa peaceful and beautiful — in his autobiography,
he says that it is "more gorgeous than anything I had anticipated"..............
