The Spanish explorer Pedro Fernández de Quirós discovered Rekareka on a Pacific expedition on February 13, 1606. Spaniards gave the name of the atoll " Sagitaria ". Already at that time, the atoll was uninhabited. On some cards, the atoll is also listed under the name "Bonne Esperance " or " Good Hope ".

On the atoll, there is no fresh water.
