I loved this island. Of the 3 we visited, it felt like the "action" or activity island. Lots and lots of stuff to do. Here Henri discovered the infinity pool.
We took in a Polynesian show. We felt the show felt more authentic then a fancy, kicked-up Hollywood production type show of Hawaii. It seemed like a village group that came to perform. Sure there was twirling fire at one point, but you can see in the pics, the old grannies were out in force singing and even showing how to make traditional crafts.
We took a boat cruise out to a motu, one of their many big sandbars (like a tiny island). That rock in the center is actually on the Tahitian currency.
Yup, we got to swim with the rays and the sharks. Not sure you can make it out but those are sharks, baby! I was freaked out at first, but got over it quickly. Super fun!
This guy, Seeki, was our guide on the cruise. He did a demo how to make the national Tahitian dish, poisson cru, which essentially was a raw tuna ceviche. It was made with fresh coconut milk. Incredible! He was a character too.
Henri loved the cruise and the afternoon on the motu. The snorkeling was terrific! Oh and Henri learned how to open coconuts. Ooof!
Sparkling water and a guava margarita - because THAT'S how we roll, baby!
Our hotel, the Intercontinental, on Moorea had amazing lagoons with all kinds of choral and fish. We spent the day snorkeling there.
Right in the middle of this pic - can you see it? - it's a rainbow. :)
