Oh my gosh, I really really want to visit French Polynesia! It must have been so incredible to see so many sharks. Sign of a healthy eco system 😍
The name Huahine literally means a woman's vagina and not a pregnant woman. The original name of the island was Matairea meaning the pleasant or joyful wind. Nice video😊
Beautiful video. This place is on our bucket list. Where is the best place to stay or side of the beautiful island? Bravo

So many sharks! That's insane. Looks beautiful!!
Beautiful shots! Livin the life! 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Thank you 🙌
What month of the year were you there ?
@@garysmith3976 October :)
beauty!! 😍
Nice island. You are extremely brave. Getting in the water with those sharks! When I was younger I might have done it, now it seems scary, especially after you got charged. You are extremely brave!
Thanks for doing this video, much appreciated! 👍
I love the whole vibe of your videos! And I want a pareo too now! I had no idea there were so many different ways to wear them; super versatile! Thank you for taking you along on your beautiful adventures! 🐬
I love the whole vibe of this video! From the beautiful nature, to the soundtrack, to your personality! Thank you for giving us a glimpse of your adventures! ❤
Thank you <3 It's such a beautiful destination :)
loved the music and views of the surf! <3
It's such a special place -- you'd love it!
Thanks for your vlog! That's my dream visit someday, Bora-Bora, Tahiti!
I hope you get a chance to go! It's a one of a kind place :)
This is amazing! I will be there next month! I am going to do the Blue Lagoon and Reef Island tour? ...Then onto Bora Bora for a few days after. Any good food spots on this island I should check out? Just there 2 nights
It's soooo amazing! The two big hotels allow guests to come for meals (Hotel Maitai and Kia Ora) - I liked Relais de Josephine for the wine + views. We ate mostly at our accommodation/surrounds just because we stayed on Tiputa... lots more options on Avatoru.
@@TheSaltSirenshow do you get to the bay with the shallow reef sharks? We are there 5 days diving and have lots for afternoons to kill. We’re staying on the avatoro island next to the tiputa pass
@@alexanderhowcroft8779 I went on a tour! It’s advertised as the “blue lagoon tour” and your accommodation can arrange it :)
@@TheSaltSirens thank you, I’m trying to plan what we can get up to other than diving. I find it hard to sit still!
@@alexanderhowcroft8779there’s also another day trip to even further reefs that isn’t in this video. So you could do 2x diving days and 2x day trip days?
So prettyyyy! A bit scary with all those sharks though. You must be brave ☺️
My happy place ❤
Real name of "huahine" is "matairea",means yellow wind. 😊
Thanks for sharing this :) Do you know how it got the name 'yellow wind'?
Actually the direct translation is "Jaunty wind" or "playful wind, as in a' rearea, which means to party. Rea is also the colour yellow but not in this context of the island name of Matairea. Hua is not pregnant, Haapu is pregnant, Hua is flower bud, Hine is girl in this Context a "girl's flower". BTW. Armond, the tour guide passed away last year.

What a beautiful place 😍😍 loved the snorkeling and sunset drinks!
It really is such a stunning place <3
Hello Cantae , very nice trip :) Can i ask you about the camera what you use ? :)
I have a GoPro Hero 7 and a Sony a7iii -- My drone is a Mavic Air 2S
@@TheSaltSirenshi! Do you mind me asking what settings you use on your go pro? Amazing footage by the way ❤
Do you have any contact from the company to swim with whales? 😊
the masques on you faces look terrible, but everything else is so beautiful, thank you!
❤❤❤💫🙏💫🍀🌅🍀🌏🎥🎞📸❤❤❤
what dive sites was it that you saw the manta rays? :)
The dive site is Anau :)
You two know how to have fun!
We sure do!
Hi, chapter „go for a hike”- where is it? How did you get there? I’m planning my trip to Mo’orea in May, and it looks Amazing. Thanks for sharing.
I recommend the three cocos trail, it starts at the belvedere lookout!
Love the video and volivoli
Volivoli is incredible!
when you said "affordable" for the overwater bungalow, what price are you talking about? I am seeing $2338 for two nights for 2 people.
Oh wow, that's very expensive! I paid around $~400 per night while Sofitel was double I believe. I've had a quick look and it seems like Manava has much higher rates than they did when I went. What time of year are you thinking?
this May @@TheSaltSirens
Can't believe how much it costs now! I wonder if it's because tourism has picked up a lot post-covid and they're back to having a high demand? @@janahoffman5291
I'm planning my trip next month, this is very usefull. Thank you for sharing !!!
I hope you have a great time! It's amazing
Great video and information
Thank you!
Nice report 👍. If you visit Moorea as a couple, you will surely add a stay at the new Moorea Suite Love, a more charming panoramic view than the magic mountain - to watch from your room & from the infinity pool 🥰 😍
Do you have to wear a mask ?
Not anymore I believe!
Great job putting this video together. We were on an excursion to swim with whales and got stormed out. Jenn cried. But there’s our reason to go back. New subs here.
Thank you! Oh man that experience sounds seasick inducing -- I had a similar experience swimming with whales in Tonga. BUT you're right in that it's an excuse to go back :)
Jenn was ready to jump in the water - regardless of the weather. But better heads prevailed and we turned around and went back to shore. She did some great snorkeling in Tonga, but alas, no whales. @@TheSaltSirens
Makadru ❤
Can you please name the 3 spots you can go to snorkeling 🤿 thanks! Beautiful video thanks for sharing!
From my memory the reef pass and anau were the best, anat is where we saw SO many manta rays!
I want to know - taste fruits in morea - link to this , i want to go to there - you can help me ??
Hi there, I experienced this on a day trip with Franckyfranck, where we went to Moorea Tropical Garden :)
Hi, great info Which month and the resort you stayed?
Hi! We stayed at Manava Resort as well as 'Le Maison Orange' guesthouse in October.
The Bali Hai Boys invented the overwater bungalows, 4 guys from USC (Trojans).
would like to go there ,heard its pricy
It is very expensive for sure! The biggest way to save I think is on accommodation -- look for pensions rather than hotels.
Loved your video. Our time spent in French Polynesia, including Moorea was the highlight of our year. Loved it.
It's such a special place, there's nowhere else I've been quite like it. Glad you got to experience it too!
What a stunning place!
It really is! <3
@@TheSaltSirens I need to move there like now lol
How do we find Franc??
We booked through Viator here! www.viator.com/tours/Moorea/Moorea-4x4-Safari-Tour/d5182-88148P1?pid=P00048026&mcid=42383&medium=link
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. You certainly have the gift of travel writing and videography.
Thank you!
Where is moorea
Moorea is in French Polynesia, next to the island of Tahiti
Thank you for sharing! Where did you stay on the main part of Bora Bora and what camera did you use for your videos?
We stayed at Oa Oa Lodge and Sunset Hills Lodge and I recommend both! I have a Sony a7iii and a GoPro 9 :) my drone is a Mavic air 2S
what tour company did you go with for swimming with whales? We are going in September and looking for recommendations. Thanks!
I recommend Michael Poole Swimming with Whales!
What is the difference btw Bora bora and Moorea . They seems the same to me? Just came back from Moorea and did all the same things
They are really similar when it comes to activities! I would say Mo’orea has more hiking and surfing, plus the whales. Bora Bora has a more beautiful lagoon, the manta snorkel spot, and more choices of luxury “private island” resorts. So they are very similar in activities but each has their own feeling.
when did you went there ? :-)
October :)
