Moorea, French Polynesia





Moorea, Tahiti's little sister is only a two hour sail across from Tahiti.  We enjoyed a beautiful sail to be welcomed into the bay by whales.  We sailed up into the shallows and dropped anchor tucked in behind the reef.

The snorkeling was great as the little fish were inquisitive and came up to and around us, sometimes bumping into my mask and causing me to laugh out loud through my snorkel, they were so cute.  One little clown fish allowed us to touch him like a pet as he skittishly darted in and out of his sea anemone, every time we started to swim away he dashed after us like he was calling us back and when we turned around he dashed back into his anemone.  That was just one of the many treasured experiences Moorea had to offer.
