After a fantastic day spent being introduced to the local Polynesian culture at Anaa yesterday, today’s visit to Tahanea allowed us to explore the natural history of the Tuamotu Archipelago. Entering through one of the atoll’s passes, we spent the morning enjoying the inside of the atoll with snorkeling and nature walks. The hotel and bar team joined us on shore to offer refreshments and treats in the form of punch and ice cream! Later in the afternoon, we had the chance to snorkel along the reef outside the atoll, enjoying views of a great diversity of coral and reef fish species, with exciting occasional passes from reef sharks! To top off a wonderful day, we were graced with an excellent sunset as we got ready for cocktail hour and evening recap.
