In 1904, the royal Pomare family of Tahiti gave the island to dentist Johnston Walter Williams.

Brando lived on the island on and off until 1990. At various times he talked of plans to develop a resort on the island, but the enormous costs involved made it financially impossible for him to carry through on his ideas. This article is about the year. ...


In June 2003, Brando granted his friend Michael Jackson "in consideration of gratitude and affection", the lifelong use of 2000 m² (a half-acre) on the islet of Onetahi, in the west of Tetiaroa.[2] For other persons named Michael Jackson, see Michael Jackson (disambiguation). ...


While earlier revisions of Brando's will had included provisions putting the island into a trust, his will as it existed in 2004 included no specific provision for the island. In 2005, the executors of the Brando estate sold development rights for $2 million to Richard Bailey, a property developer based in Tahiti. A new luxury resort is currently being built on the atoll. The planned per night price for accommodations is rumored to be $1500. Air Moorea put a claim on the island saying it is owed $460,000 for the service it provided in bringing people to and from the island. At the moment, the atoll's "airport" is closed for violating safety regulations; the airstrip is not currently long enough.[3]

Tetiaroa @ The Fly Shop® (1046 words)
Tetiaroa is temporarily closed due to uncontrollable circumstances.
Part of French Polynesia's Society Archipelago, each island (called "motu" by the natives) on Tetiaroa is surrounded by hard-packed, white sand flats that are easily waded and are the feeding grounds for bonefish, milkfish and three species of trevally (golden, bluefin and giant).
Bonefishing techniques on Tetiaroa are not unlike permit fishing, where a painfully slow retrieve (just enough to keep connected to the fly) or no retrieve at all produces the most takes.
Presidency of French Polynesia - Atoll of Tetiaroa (180 words)
Tetiaroa owes part of its success to its natural beauty.
One of Tetiaroa’s “motus”, or islets, is known as Bird Island.
