Un tur de snorkeling, un pui de pește leu și o ukulele

Tetiaroa is a small, beautiful atoll with 12 islands. All uninhabited except for one: Onetahi. There is only one hotel, an airstrip, and a staff village on it. Everything here is green, sand, and sea. In other words, a paradise.
We are staying in a bungalow.
We came here on a plane with only eight people, including the pilot: my mother at the back, my brother and father in the next row, then an unknown couple, and finally, in the cockpit, the pilot and me😊. Yes, I was allowed to sit in the front and even wear those headphones. With them, I was able to talk to the pilot and listen to all the radio communication. Everyone was strapped in with a regular seatbelt like the ones in cars. We were greeted by singing and dancing women and then taken through the hotel.
The next day, we went on a snorkeling tour with two guides. I also had a massage with my mother. Other than that, we just swam, rested, and built a sandcastle😉
The day after, we went to another island in Tetiaroa with a guide (her name is Vanille😊) and went on a kayak tour. We saw three blacktip sharks. My mother took a seashell. She almost fainted in shock when the seashell started moving on its own😊😊😊.
We ate at a Teppanyaki restaurant. All the dishes were very, very delicious!
The day before yesterday, we went diving. By 'we,' I mean my parents and me. My brother still has to finish his certification. We went on a two-tank dive with a dive master. A two-tank dive is a dive, then a break, and then another dive. You need 'two tanks' (two oxygen cylinders) for it. At the first dive site, we saw a baby lionfish and a turtle. She was still very young. Then we dove through a cave. At the second dive site, we went down to 18 meters. I'm not allowed to go deeper with my PADI Open Water Diver certification. But it's enough because down there, we not only saw another baby turtle but also a school of baby barracudas. And a big adult barracuda. We dove through many caves there.
All the guides here are part of the Tetiaroa Society. They protect the nature and tranquility and know every animal and plant. For example, they told us about frigatebirds here. We even saw their nests. All the birds here fish because they have waterproof feathers. Except for the frigatebirds. They steal prey from other birds.
By the way, my brother had a ukulele lesson during that time and then taught us some songs and chord progressions.
In the evening, there was a Polynesian dance show. It was really cool and impressive!
Yesterday morning, we woke up and looked outside: rain. So yesterday was a quiet day and we didn't do anything exciting.
But we saw a blacktip shark during breakfast. It was very close to the shore. Then we saw a humpback whale with its calf outside the lagoon.
This afternoon, we will fly on to Rangiroa via Tahiti.
Rangiroa awaits us...
