| Here are pictures from our days at Ninamu (resort) on Tikehau which is a coral atoll 340 kilometers northwest of Tahiti. The resort was on a small private island on the western side of the atoll. |
 |
| Each bungalow was so unique - like living in a treehouse! |
 |
| Setting crab traps (j/k) |
 |
| Common space consisted of living room, bar, dinner tables etc - constructed from materials found on the island or in the sea. |
 |
| Our first sunset at Ninamu was outstanding. |
 |
| The beach was so pink from all the coral being ground and washed ashore. |
 |
| Happy days |
 |
| Working on his tan |
 |
| Hermit crabs by the millions. You could sit on the sand and see dozens crawling all over the joint. |
 |
| We spent each morning on the boat for snorkeling, swimming, fishing or just riding. |
 |
| Just couldn't get over all the colors represented in the water alone. |
 |
| Looking for sharks - yep we saw and swam with the beasts. |
 |
| Kayaking from resort over to next island in the atoll. |
 |
 |
| Fondu dinner with new friends at Ninamu. |
 |
| Huge coconut crabs on the deck after dinner. What a spectacle! |
 |
| Took a ride over to the Garden of Eden island on the other side of the atoll. A religious family from Taiwan has been living here for almost 20 years. They live entirely off the land and only grow organics. |
 |
| Seems fairly reasonable! |
 |
| They make their own sea salt. |
 |
| Big Momma |
 |
| On our last morning we tried the paddle boards. Not as easy as they seem! |
  |
| Stayin' lowwwww |
 |
| Very last sunset back on Tahiti overlooking the airport. That is Moorea in the distance. |
 |
| Cheers! |
