Outside Magazine Features Tetiaroa Society’s Innovative Work to Protect Atoll

Outside Magazine Contributing Editor Hampton Sides recently traveled to Tetiaroa and shares his experience in this article, “We had Marlon Brando’s Island Utopia to Ourselves.”

Sides dives into the atoll’s history as a destination for Tahitian royalty, explores Marlon Brando’s path to ownership, and interviews Tetiaroa Society Executive Director Frank Murphy about how together with The Brando we are fulfilling Marlon Brando’s vision for an ecologically thriving Tetiaroa.

“Brando’s obsession is our obsession,” Murphy tells Sides. “His dream for Tetiaroa is our dream. We’ve just carried on, in agreement with Marlon’s ideas.”
