Honeymoonnin- Tahiti and Moorea

It was so amazingly B-E-A-Utiful.


Papette, Tahiti- 1 night

8 hour flight on Air Tahiti Nui, I would have to say flying in to Tahiti was like flying in to a dream. Just the view from the airplane looking out the windown in to crystal blue green waters seemed so surreal. There was only one night in here, so we didn't get a chance to explore too much. We stayed at the Intercontinental Tahiti Hotel ^^ there was plenty for us to do at the hotel which was super awesome. And the food was delicious! We had some kind of polynesian version of curry for dinner the first night. (we discovered how outrageously priced all the food was in tahiti.. ahh! $30-$50 per person)

Moorea-3 nights
The next morning we flew over to the beautiful Moorea. It was only a 10 minute plane flight away! haha we literally flew up then back down. Moorea beauty lies in its lush green floral mountainous island rather than its lagoons (not to say in anyway that their lagoons are super beautiful either. The water is still crystal clear, and filled with pretty corals and fishies!!) The first day we spent mainly exploring the hotel. Again it had a billion amenities! haha They had a dolphin center, and a sea turtle rescue center. the next day we decided to rent some bikes and bike around the island! hahaha oh man i never knew i had it in me to bike so much! We both felt like we were in a Miyazaki film like totoro and biking through a lush jungle forest area. haha =) it was awesome. After biking we did snorkled a bit around the over water bungalows and saw all types of interesting stuff!! like sea leeches (they look like super duper duper long sea cucumbers) and sea flutes and all types of triggers !! ^_^




The next day we went on a 4x4 jungle excursion! It was awesome.. we got to explore the inside volcano jungle-ly area of Moorea, go to a pinapple and papaya plantation! it was soo beautiful. We learned about the local temples.. and that pinapple "trees" are really pinapple "bushes" and never grow taller than 3 feet haha =) We also learned that Tahitians specialized in Vanilla and Pineapples, so its super duper yummy! We then spent the rest of the day kayaking and snorkling ^____^ We realized if we stick our hands outward in a "flinging bread" kind of action the fish get tricked in to thinking we are feeding them! and they totally swarm around us! it was amazing! haha ^^
