Hi Linda:

We just returned from the June 10 PG cruise in the Society, Tuamoto, and Marquesas'. The Bora Bora Motu snorkeling is a great opener. If you go to the far side of the channel near the other island there are octopus, etc. Since it is used quite a bit the coral right off the beach is a bit trampeled, but if you head right toward the reef it is beautiful.

The drift snorkel option is really a blast, and you will see all manner of fish and coral. By far the best snorkeling was on Rangirora: large moray's and black tipped reef sharks. It was even better than several of the dives.

Also, be sure to do the moray option on Moorea. Really fun. If you dive, the shark gallery is also fun.

Cheers,

Dan Clements
