Swimming With The Sting Rays and Sharks!
Our Favorite Excursion Of The Trip:
(& Dolphins, & Turtles, & Tropical Fish)
Lunch was an authentic Tahitian barbecue on a private island! We’ll call the food interesting but at least the fish were fans!
And we had our own mini adventure into the tide pools for more coral, critters, and conch shells!
Another couple on the lagoon cruise, Edward and Beulah (visiting from New Zealand) came to the swim armed with a GoPro; AKA capable of taking much better video than our plastic gift shop phone pouches. But not only was Edward willing to share the clips from our snorkeling adventure, he let us in on some exclusive behind the scenes footage from the opposite kind of climate. Turns out, for 5 years, Edward was a helicopter pilot based in Antartica! He worked with the BBC while they were filming for “Frozen Planet” and gave us hours of bonus footage to work with on future projects…. I can feel the gears turning already! Such a cool connection to come out of the trip!
