The day started with an amazing sunrise on National Geographic Orion as we arrived at Beqa Island. The morning activities offered were a morning dive, and for those not diving, an exploration ashore to experience the kindness of Fiji culture at one of the villages on the island. And for anyone up for the extra adventure, a hike starting in the village and ending at a different bay was offered.

In the afternoon, we all went ashore to enjoy the mecca welcome dance and the incredible Fiji fire walking performance, which was incredible to witness. The festivities were followed by the last snorkeling excursion of the trip, which we happily enjoyed.

We ended the evening with the captain’s farewell - a perfect ending to a perfect expedition.
