Bird Island, Tahiti

Tikehau for a motu picnic

I booked an excursion on Tikehau for a motu picnic. 2 fantastic things on this excursion was swimming with a manta ray which was unreal. I loved it, even though I did hold the guides hand. And bird island, only 3 of us were on this trip and it was amazing. Everyone who, goes to Tikehau needs to do this trip. We got really close to lots of chicks.

I didn't think it was possible to find another place more beautiful than Bora Bora until I got to Tikehau, stunning atolls, low isles, no hills, only sand bars, and coconut palms idyllic very quiet and still. It's a real paradise.

Annie is enjoying her time in Tahiti, and was lucky to visit Bird Island and see some sharks.

Here I am in paradise once again.

I wonder how it is possible to fall in love with a place all over again, all you have to do is to come to Tahiti again and again. It simply is the most beautiful place on earth. I have the best job in the whole world!

I am now in my lovely bungalow. There's a big king size bed, and a glass topped table, you can lift the lid and feed the fish from your room. There's also a glass panel next to the bathtub, so you can see the lagoon from the tub.

Heaven on Earth

This trip Annie will be swimming with Manta Rays, not to be mistaken for their smaller cousin the Sting Ray.

Manta Rays are the largest rays, with wing spans of up to 30 feet and can weigh up to 3,000 pounds. They are also closely related to sharks.

     

 

Annie will be departing today, November 23rd to what she feels is Heaven on Earth ! Would you agree ?
