Honeymoon Part 2

After 3 nights in Moorea we were off to Bora Bora for 5 nights. This time, we picked the good side of the plane to sit on and got to watch the amazing scenery as we flew overhead.
This is not Bora Bora.  Its a smaller island.

The water was violet. I swear. Beautiful.

The airport is on its own separate island, so after we were greeted
The airport is on its own island.
we took the Hilton yacht over to their island.
Even prettier than Moorea.
Pulling up to the Hilton's property

Enjoying the first sunset from our bungalow (while sipping on Tahiti Drink)
First sunset from our deck in Bora Bora
The next morning we went out on a boat tour to swim with sharks...

After the captain finished feeding them, we got in the water and had the chance to swim with them. I'm not going to lie, it had my heart pounding. But I'm glad we did it! Their bellies were full so they didn't show much interest in us.

After we snorkeled through a beautiful reef, the captain took John out on a secret mission. They came back with an octopus!

Next up was swimming with the sting rays. Same drill....the captain fed them and then we were allowed to get in the water with them. They were slimy and gross. No pics to share of us in the water with them, but come on over and we'll show you the video!

After that we took a boat tour around Bora Bora
View of Hilton from the boat.
Waves breaking on the reef. The waves are about 30 feet high!
They look fun.
And then stopped at a small motu (island) to talk around and collect shells
And found a shell, that's now on our bookshelf
To be continued...
