about half-a-day shark and ray feeding and eventually swimming with the Reef sharks in a once in a lifetime experience worth adding to your bucket list. While the idea of feeding sharks may sound ominous, it is one of the most popular excursions in the South Pacific. Originated on Bora Bora, you don a snorkeling mask and float in the shallow lagoon waters behind a secure rope while the sharks arrive in schools and are hand-fed by your guide just a few feet away.
A happy welcome and a sad goodbye, but with a promise that I would return as I was given one more of the island specialties a flower called Tiare Tahiti. This flower is so deeply linked to the culture and the people of Tahiti the two go hand in hand and as you are greeted with this flower |
