From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Taravai is the second largest island in the Gambier Islands of French Polynesia, at 5.7 km². Taravai is located at 23°08′12″S, 135°01′33″W, about 1.5 km southwest of Mangareva, and about 300 m north of the island of Angakauitai. Off its eastern shore lies the tiny rock Îlot Motu-o-ari.

Their village Agonoko is located near the main bay on the island's eastern shore. With a remaining population of three (census of 2002), it is almost abandoned. Former villages were Aga-nui (northwest) and Agakau-i-uta (southeast).
