The lagoon tour

Day after the wedding and first day of my weddingbearmoon and you’d think we’d get to sleep in.

Nope, apparently we have a shark and ray lagoon snorkelling tour for 9am in the morning.

Well, I did want to see more sharks so into the boat we went.  The tour comprised 4 stops.  First one to see the sharks.    We went to a spot known for black tip reef sharks and lemon sharks.  We saw lots of black tip sharks, but not any lemon sharks this time.

My bud was brave, he actually got into the water with them!

One of the guides was a bad ass swimmer the way I’m a hard core gamer.  He free dived to the bottom and started making water rings.

The next stop was to see the manta rays.

Here in Bora Bora they actually remove the barbs from the manta rays so it’s pretty safe to swim around them.

3rd stop was a coral reef.  There were soo many fish!  The guides gave us some bread and my bud figured out how to get them to eat right from his hands.

Last stop – a super shallow sand bar.

The whole tour took about 4 hours.  I’m glad I went, but to be honest, most of the time I just stayed in the bag and got really really wet, thanks to all the other tourists that kept climbing in and out of the boat and flinging water my way.  Bunch of jerks.   I guess the sharks were worth it though.
