Snorkeling solo in the Pacific Ocean did not fit my wishes, therefore I took a tour at the barrier reef of Huahine. From the Maitai Lapita Village I started my snorkeling adventure with a group of 10 people.

First stop in the crystal waters in front of Te Fiti. “Sharks in the reef!”, yelled the captain as I was jumping in the water. “Finally! I can swim with sharks”. “Yes, but don’t touch them”..

The full tour around the island passed by Tefarerli, here seen from its viewpoint

We then entered the turquoise waters of the barrier reef in front of Motu Murimaoa

Fresh lunch at the beach : raw fish with coconut milk (the national plate of Polynesia) prepared for us

We left “Motu Obama” island aside (President Obama had a night there with his family years ago)

We then cut Maroe bay, here as seen from its viewpoint

To finally come back to Maitai Lapita Village.
