Yes, please send these forms to me. I love this site! As a "lurker" I have learned so much.

One of the nicest excursions we did was the lagoon discovery with snorkelling in Moorea. A very laid-back, fun morning. This is where we were snorkelling with the stingrays. Also, went on a small island where I was the only one there. I walked from the boat (my husband was snorkelling) in waist deep water to get there. It was great!! The trails of the ancients was very informative as well, but got old after about 2 hours of trekking!!

Don't miss the BB waverunners. A blast. We tried the snorkling with the stingrays, but unfortunately there was a medical emergency that forced them to abort the excursion. I think it would have been great.
