Champagne Cruiser Posted January 29, 2015 #202 Share Posted January 29, 2015 We are doing a TP with Celebrity (Sydney to Vancouver) but the only 2 stops in The South Pacific are Papatatee and Moorea. We are in Papatatee until 11 pm and from what I am researching there doesn't look to be too much to do as far as snorkeling/beaches. Is it possible to find tours that would go to Bora Bora for the day or other suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible to find tours that would go to Bora Bora for the day or other suggestions? You are right about the poor snorkeling in Papeete. I am not aware of any reliable ferry service out to Bora Bora. You may want to check with a travel agent familiar with Tahiti, but I would not hold out much hope. Michele is right when she said that there are some nice land tours to take. Many people on our roll call took some of the Princess tours and some people organized a special tour that sounded really nice. The description of that tour: "4WD Excursions - 130 kms including 60 kms of track, a full or half day in the heart of Tahiti island, the visit of the crater will bring you back in the past. Water collecting, several waterfalls where you can swim, archeologic spots, tropical flora, basaltic rocks, river ford, several stops will be done and the polynesian guides will be happy to talk about their island and tell you stories about Tahitian legends. Breathless experience guaranteed." You also might look into a day pass at one of the resorts and spend the day at the beach - you will need to take a taxi. You can also check the Shutterfly page on your roll call for other ideas. Also, make sure you eat dinner at one of the food trucks (Roulottes) that are parked next to the pier area. It was a great experience. That said - you are really, really going to enjoy Moorea. I will be posting my pictures of Moorea and you will be amazed at how clear the water is there.

Thanks for taking the time to post them.....:):):) Bob Glad you enjoy them. I see from your signature that you are going to be taking a trip from Vancouver to Hawaii - we looked at that one last year. Vancouver is my home town and we were going to tie the trip in with a visit with friends and family. Timing did not work so we took this one this year instead. Have a great trip!

Now that you ARE stopping in Bora Bora, here's a link you can check out: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1697667&highlight=snorkel+bora That sub-forum, covering the Pacific Islands is a good place to get even more information on what to do.

SailorJack Posted January 29, 2015 Author #218 Share Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) Checked could not find paperclip Michele, I can't help here. I created a Photobucket account ( its free) and I upload my pictures to that account. From there I download the pictures to the forum. It is relatively easy and you may want to try that approach. Or perhaps Colo Cruiser can walk you through the paperclip approach. There is also a free app out there called Photoshop Express that lets you post pictures but I have never tried it.

SailorJack Posted January 30, 2015 Author #219 Share Posted January 30, 2015 This is "THE FISH" - more on it in just a second! The second to last part of the ceremony involved major surgery on a criminal passenger. Here the court holds up sheets to protect the patient's privacy while the doctor removes parts of the patient. You can see the patient's innards (spaghetti) being tossed out of the operating area. The operation was a success, but unfortunately the patient died - and left quite a mess while doing so! For the last part of the ceremony, first time crossers had to "Kiss the Fish!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
