The other day decided to take a 4x4 Safari around the island to see some different things. There are 2 companies where one is more about history and so on, while the other one is more like "wohoo". We went for the last one and we had plenty of fun!
We started off the tour with driving up to a beautiful view point overlooking Matira beach on one side and Vaitape on the other side. Absolutely amazing! But to get up there... I had no idea a Land Rover could drive like that. There are no road, just rocks and steep. But our guide, Terry, did very well for his first day at work. LOL! No, he had done it before!

After the view point we headed to the Pearl Farm and got to see how they pull out the black pearls from the oysters. I got to catch the pearl, but they didn't let me keep it :o(

Then we did some driving around while he told us stories, showed us other view points, visiting a lady who painted pareos, and we finally ended up by the WW2 canons which are strategically placed around the island. Bora Bora was never attacked during the ware by the way.

Good tour and a lot of fun! After the tour we had lunch at Matira Beach before heading back home!
Cheers my friends!
