Sunday May 1st- Moorea – French Polynesia
Moorea is only 20 miles to the North of Papeete. We apparently set sail at 330am in order to arrive here at 800am this morning. Today was a tender port. As we had no planned tours today we took our swim and snorkel gear and took the 15min ride to the shore. Within 5minutes we had negotiated a snorkel tour that included ray and shark feeding for a cost of 4000 CFX each.
It was a small group on our boat and it was exciting to be able to get in the waist deep water with the rays and sharks. The rays are very friendly; they obviously know where their easiest food source comes from.
Back on the boat and off we went to a nice beach where we were supplied with water and fresh pineapple. We soon ventured back in the water to snorkel. There were no time constraints; the boat came back every hour with another load of passengers so we could stay for as long as we wanted. When we came in for a break we found Linda and Alice had arrived and further down the beach, Ross and Lesley were also there. We snorkelled some more before retuning to the dock and then hopped on a tender back to our food supply, Horizon Court. The weather was once again perfect and a good day was had by all we spoke with.
