Guests awoke to fair conditions and calm seas for their arrival to North Fakarava. We started the morning with stretches hosted by Wellness Specialist Diana. Following breakfast, guests departed for the village. A warm musical welcome and traditional flowers awaited our arrival. Local markets had a variety of handicrafts and trinkets available for purchase, as well as a convenience store with standard amenities. Guests had the option to hire a bike to ride around town or follow the guidance of the naturalists on foot. A nature walk and cultural tour was available to best take in what North Fakarava had to offer. The church was also hosting a 9 am service, given it was Sunday.
After lunch, Kura gave a presentation on the uses of palm trees before we set off for another platform snorkel on Nioa Reef. Sharks were plentiful and lots of schooling fish made for a great in-water experience. Once back on board, dinner was served in the restaurant before Karen delivered her presentation on seabirds. It was another great day in French Polynesia.
