(24/7 cam but may look black at night when out at sea)
|
TAHITI:
(We went on Patrick's Adventure 4X4 tour of the center of Tahiti on 19 Feb 2006. That is probably the best tour and price available... but book early!
|
MOOREA: Spent time on a very nice beach about 1 mile past Intercontental Hotel about 2 miles from where ship docks
|
BORA-BORA: (We were here two days. I rented a 6hp boat for the first day, snorkled some coral, swam with rays, visited Motu in the SE region... boat cost $120 for all day. Second day was spend with Patrick's tour which was outstanding. Patrick probably has the best tour of Bora Bora. Book VERY early. Includes highland views, shark feeding, ray feeding, excellent snorkling, a visit to his private motu.
|
TAHA'A: We went going on Bruno's tour here 24 FEB 2006 -- This is a must-do tour. Outstanding.http://www.tahaa.net)
On nearby Huihine, a must do tour is Marc's motu picnic.

MANAHI:
(Manahi is not a usual TP destination...
... but is NE of Tahitit between Tahiti and the Marquesas
... and gives indication of weather in that direction.)

---printable chart of sky from Tahitian Princess on way to Rarotonga Feb 21 at 09 PM showing magnitude 6 stars and brighter, bright stars labeled, constellations not labeled.
The reason for the charts limited to mag3 stars is so that you can find the constellations. The mag6 charts gives you an idea of the immensity of stars you will see. What a celestial treat!
