Last night in Moorea
20. Februar 2024 in Französisch-Polynesien ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
More rays, sharks and family time 😀

What we loved about Mo'orea:
- Coral gardens with incredible snorkeling (so many different fish to see)
- Lush tropical forests on the mountains
- The local public beach - just about the perfect beach! Shallow blue water, sandy shore, shade from palms and amazing snorkeling.
- The friendly sting rays and black tip sharksWeiterlesen

Bora Bora!
21. Februar 2024 in Französisch-Polynesien ⋅ ☁️ 28 °C
Just amazing! The over water bungalow is perfect 👌
Flight from Mo'orea was a bit delayed but still nice to fly from and to such a small airport and on a short flight!
Took the airport ferry from the airport island to the main island - very swish boats for the fancy resorts!
Hosts met us with the hire car and showed us where things were in the town.
Can't believe how amazing the overwater bungalow is.
Got some supplies from the supermarket - tuna was just £5 so had pasta and tuna steak, very tasty. Used a bit of raw tuna to see what fish we could attract which Rosie really enjoyed doing - got some big bites!
Beautiful sunset, so nice to see it as we often didn't in Mo'orea.Weiterlesen

Day 2 in BB
22. Februar 2024 in Französisch-Polynesien ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
Another day in paradise 🌞
Saw dolphins right outside our bungalow this morning which was so special.
Matt took the kayak to the outer islands for an explore whilst Rosie and I had a chat with Mark and Kat - Rosie has been missing Kat very much. Today she asked me who are my friends that I miss. When I told her she'd say no they're my friends, you're not allowed them! 😂
We've booked a boat hire for tomorrow morning which is exciting.
Poppy has been especially smiley and cute today. She's getting better at rolling to her side.
Bought some more bananas and pineapple from a road stall - the pineapples are so sweet here and almost creamy!
Rosie had a go in the kayak with Matt when we got home. She did really well and came back very happy.Weiterlesen

Bora Bora boat trip
23. Februar 2024 in Französisch-Polynesien ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C
I didn't know anywhere could be this beautiful! Rosie loved driving the boat too 😃
Saw lots more sting rays. They are much smaller than the ones in Mo'orea and definitely less tamed - probably because people aren't feeding them! So beautiful to see them swimming in the crystal clear water.
Fantastic snorkeling today with schools of fish between the reefs and bright purple coral.
Had both Poppy and Rosie asleep on me in the boat at one point!
Spent the afternoon at our place swimming, kayaking, painting and doing some Moana and Frozen themed yoga videos 😂
We've all had a lovely day.Weiterlesen

Chilled day in BB
24. Februar 2024 in Französisch-Polynesien ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C
Spent the morning at Matira beach. Beautiful white sandy beach with huge shaded area. Very handy as Poppy had a sleep whilst Rosie and Matt went for a swim. I had a quick swim afterwards and came back to shore to Rosie shouting "Mummy" as she ran out to meet me. We built a sandcastle with sea defences which kept getting washed away. Rosie would just smile and say "don't matter, we'll build it again!".
Lunch at Snack Matira - fish and chips for me and Rosie and raw fish in coconut milk for Matt.
Chilled afternoon at the bungalow with some more swimming. Matt found a lionfish! Then pizza for dinner followed by feeding the scraps to the fish. The water was so still and clear it was like an aquarium.Weiterlesen

Kayaking and cuddles
25. Februar 2024 in Französisch-Polynesien ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
Swim for Matt in the morning, then a kayak for Laura to the beautiful bay near ours. Quick trip to Matira beach and lunch with a sleepy and hungry Rosie at Bora Bora Yacht Club - stunning location overlooking Coral garden with lots of fish.
Trip to the shop to buy dinner before heading home. Matt took Rosie for a kayak whilst Poppy and I played and had cuddles. Rosie fell asleep though so couldn't appreciate the scenery!
More fish for dinner and feeding fish from the jetty afterwards.Weiterlesen

Breakfast with rays
25. Februar 2024 in Französisch-Polynesien ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C
Rosie loved feeding the sting rays until one bit her hand.. She was quickly back on it though and even tried her first snorkelling with them. Amazing beach and almost no one else there 😃 The kayaking sent her to sleep in 30 seconds yesterday evening so I had to paddle round with a dead weight on my lap!Weiterlesen

Guns and coral gardens
27. Februar 2024 in Französisch-Polynesien ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C
Visited two lots of canons used in WWII. Tried to get out as soon as possible so we could do the walks whilst it wasn't too hot. First one was very steep but a very short walk. Nice views of the Motus (outer islands).
Second one was a much longer and hotter walk! All 4 of us were very sweaty by the end but it was totally worth it for the views of Mount Otemanu.
Quick dip back at the bungalow before lunch out and some time hanging out play Matira beach - definitely seems best for snorkeling and shade! Saw so many different kinds of fish when snorkeling today. It was amazing! Huge shoals of fish lurk around the drop off and there are beautiful Coral gardens with all sorts of different fish. Wish I knew what they were!
Rosie did some great swimming today and is getting more confident dipping her head into the water.
Poppy was so happy and smiley this afternoon and has been great fun to hang out with.Weiterlesen

Manta Rays
28. Februar 2024 in Französisch-Polynesien ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C
Turns out there are manta rays a 5 min kayak from our bungalow! They are a lot bigger than I expected, so graceful too..
Plus lunch in Bora Bora yacht club, not many yacht clubs are built onto beautiful reef!Weiterlesen

Bye Bye Bora Bora
29. Februar 2024 in Französisch-Polynesien ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
Really sad to leave Bora Bora but looking forward to the next part of our adventure.
We'll miss:
- Our idillic overwater bungalow
- The incredible snorkeling and graceful rays
- Swimming, kayaking and feeding fish off the jetty
- Seeing local families playing at Matira Beach (one of the most beautiful beaches you will find!)
- The vivid blue of the shallow waters
Couple of nights in Tahiti then on to the Cook Islands!Weiterlesen
