The first leg of our month-long South Pacific cruise took us from Fiji to Tahiti! We detail the dramatic boarding scare, snorkeled the spectacular reef at Dravuni, enjoyed the cultural centre in Samoa, explored the beautiful Cook Islands, and finally reached the paradise of Bora Bora and Moorea.
The dramatic, detailed conclusion to our COVID-19 cruise saga: being stranded in the South Pacific, the Canadian plea for help, the Groundhog Day effect on the Norwegian Jewel, and the chaotic, police-escorted transit home via charter flights from Hawaiʻi.
We ended our year of adventure with two weeks of Fiji island hopping! Using an Awesome Adventures package, we snorkeled with reef sharks and swam with majestic manta rays. Our itinerary included Bounty Island, Wailaili Island (Naqalia Lodge), and the famous Blue Lagoon caves and coral. Bula!
