Well no, because coconut crab ONLY exists here, on these islands!

4 DAY 11 (MON) FROM ONE PARADISE TO ANOTHER Tahiti to Fakarava North To say that you are in a group of a select few is an understatement. This part of our tour is the highlight of any tour in any of our locations. Welcome to the VIP club. The day will begin with breakfast and an orientation to keep you up to speed with the plan of attack. We aim to leave for the airport around 11.; 30 am for the short flight to Fakarava North All being well we will be arriving at our accommodation around 3 pm, just in time for sunset and evening dinner by the water. Bikini, coconut water, white sand private island, and fresh seafood, here we are! Welcome to Fakarava Meals Included: Breakfast & Dinner DAY 12 (TUES) FAKARAVA NORTH Fakarava North Once you reassure yourself that even after all this time in Tahiti you are not dreaming, you ll head for breakfast Tahitian style for an assortment of delicious breakfast items. You ll need a hearty breakfast as today you ll head on up to the north pass to take in some snorkelling and experience the diverse marine life of these extraordinary waters and reefs. There s zero fishing or anchors dropped in these waters so you ll get to swim amongst plenty of sea-life that will surround you. Afterwards, you ll have some free time before you sit down at night for some dinner and drinks and a sunset that will never get old. Meals Included: Breakfast & Dinner

5 DAY 13 (WED) FAKARAVA NORTH Fakarava North to South What goes north, must go, eh, south? Yip! This morning after breakfast you ll be picked up and you ll sail down to the south of the island on a boat for the final couple of days. It isn t a long trip, just under an hour and that ll give you ample opportunity to take in the vistas during your voyage. You ll arrive late morning just in time for another Tahitian feast of lunch. On a private island as well, which sounds pretty swell. Then we re going to give you the entire afternoon to do as you wish, we understand that you ll want to go and do your own thing and we ll give you the opportunity to do just that. Our guide will, of course, be on hand to help you with anything you need, whether that s pointing you in the right direction or assisting you with booking onto another activity on the island. At night you ll reconvene with the others and no doubt will have lots of stories to share after your free afternoon in Southern Fakarava, and as normal, a few cocktails. Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner DAY 14 (THU) FAKARAVA SOUTH Fakarava South Professional or just beginner? This will make you feel like a fish in the water. This is a must-do activity once in your life! Will be going to discover the South Pass, legendary for the multiple walls of sharks you re pretty much guaranteed to see, diving the south pass is challenging due to its remoteness, lucky you are with us! This is an experience that will blow you away. In the afternoon we will be involved in beach cleaning: Even if this atoll and its population do everything to preserve their own island, they are not protected from the world pollution. Every day beautiful beaches get pollution from around the world, plastic bags from the US, a floating toy from China This is where we can help them to keep their beaches alive! Small gestures leave a big impact! Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner. NOTE There is one ATM on the atoll of Fakarava located at the post office. Most of your trip is cover but if you wanted to explore local shops for some seashells high-end jewellery or just a sandwich you may want to get some cash as most of the places do not accept credit card. We will stop at a cash machine on day 11.
