Today, guests on board National Geographic Orion explored the amazing island of Ua Huka. When everyone was ashore, we began our journey to the local museum by driving along the scenic cliffsides of Ua Huka. Once we arrived at the museum, we enjoyed a glimpse into Polynesian culture and history. Then we drove to the next village, where we enjoyed the scenery, local music, and the opportunity to purchase local crafts. We headed back to National Geographic Orion for lunch. In the afternoon, we had an incredible opportunity to dive with manta rays right off Bird Island. We finished the day with an amazing sunset.

Makatea, Tuamotus
We arrived to Makatea early in the morning. We were greeted by a view of beautiful coral cliffs, which have risen out of the water. The morning was filled with activities, including birding, viewing the sulfur mines (once a major industry in French Polynesia), and snorkeling in a cave system with a freshwater supply. The system is known as the grotto, and it was lit up by the dive team with very well-placed dive lights. After an amazing Mexican lunch on deck 4, it was full steam ahead for water activities. The divers went to a point on Makatea and had an incredible dive in the amazing island’s blue waters. Not too far from the divers, the snorkelers were enjoying the same amazing reefs and clear blue waters of Makatea.

Rangiroa, Tuamotus
Early this morning, we arrived at the Tuamotu Archipelago, a completely different landscape than what we have experienced previously on this voyage. As we approached Rangiroa atoll and entered the pass, a single bottlenose dolphin came to escort us into the lagoon. With a strong outgoing tide and standing waves, the dolphin surfed our bow and did some spectacular leaps. We spent the whole day exploring this glorious island. SCUBA divers did multiple dives while snorkelers enjoyed “The Aquarium,” where the volume of fish is off the charts. We also went ashore. Some of us took a casual stroll, and others were enticed by the black pearl. Too soon, it was time to head out of Rangiroa and on towards Makatea!
