Creator's Key Takeaways

Snorkeling the coral gardens was as if I was swimming through his aquarium. It's amazing.

We couldn't have been more excited to see land after 4 days at sea.

It was an absolutely fascinating place. Wild horses roam freely so they were everywhere.

It was a lot of fun swimming with these sharks.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use noodles and life jackets when snorkeling in strong currents.
Book the shark and stingray snorkel tour in Bora Bora for a unique experience.
