Day 2 we had to wake up quite early at 5am for a 5:30am pickup to bring us to the airport. We flew from Tahiti to Mo'orea, or "Yellow Lizard," where we will spend the next three nights.
Once we arrived at our next hotel we had some time to kill until we could check in so we went on a snorkeling excursion on one of the island lagoons. We went with a large group of people on a boat and after touring around a couple of the bays made our way to the snorkeling spot.
As soon as we started slowing down we could see the black tip reef sharks circling the boat! The passengers on the boat then emptied into the shark infested waters where we could get up close and personal with the sharks and the stingrays. We were able to touch the stingrays, reaching almost 4 ft wide while they swam underneath us!
We spent a good hour at this one spot and then made our way over to a motu, or smaller island where they cooked us up some phenomenal food; fresh tuna (uncooked), rice, chicken and plenty of beverages for all to enjoy!
2.5 hours on this island and we finally headed back to the hotel. Once we got back we enjoyed some down time and got room service before we were in bed by 8:30pm. We were absolutely exhausted and needed the extra sleep so we could be rested up for an exciting day 3!
