Although we wanted to stay longer in Moorea, it was time to think about leaving for the next destination, Huahine Island. Wind was going to be very strong soon but we had a weather window for a smooth ride. We would leave at night which would give us a chance to swim with the stingrays in the morning.
So, in the morning, we took our dinghy over to the area where the tour boats go and an area where the stingrays are known to hangout. We went early in the morning to avoid the tour boats. This place was amazing! As soon as we got there, we saw the big UFO looking shadows going by under the dinghy.
That wasn't all though there were black tip reef sharks as well. These guys were a little more shy than the stingrays.
On the way back to our boat we stopped to snorkel on the underwater tiki's. This was no big deal; more of tourist thing.
After a morning doing those fun things, we went back to the boat to prepare for the overnight trip to Huahine. We will miss Moorea. Sadly, we have to push on with our visa time running short.
