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.
