This was like a sunset cruise with extras! First, it was private, which made the evening more special. Second, in addition to boating to great sunset views, you go to a beach where you eat snacks and make S'mores. Our guide was proud to teach us about Polynesian culture. Seeing all the stars was magical and our guide took extra time with us to wait for clouds to clear.

The sunset view from the boat was incredible and our host Tao was so sweet! It was a great time! The only downside was that it was a bit long. But overall it was gorgeous views and a fun experience.

My wife and I arrived in Bora Bora on the afternoon flight after a long journey. Thinking it would be a great introduction to the island, and its inhabitants, we chose the Legend, Storytelling and Stargazing tour as our very first activity on the first evening of our honeymoon.
Running in our flip flops, stye-eyed and weary we reached Tau (our guide) out of breath. It was a tight schedule to take the ferry from the airport at 430 and make our rendezvous for 5. We were late, and apologetic. It didn't matter. Tau was kind, perceptive, caring and humorous. It felt like we met somebody that we already knew. "My grandfather named me Tau after himself" he said "that name, Tau, means 'Chill" -as in calm.
Tau said he made the hat he was wearing like his grandfather did from palm leaves. "I've been wearing it for 2 months." He said proudly. "That's pretty good." We joked around for a while. Piloting through the lagoon with ease, he sang Bob Marley and Opetaie Foa'i. He played Ukulele, and fed us tuna and coconut.
He told us about the Islands; Taha'a, where he was born, Raiatea, the home of the gods, Hawaii, Tonga, Fiji, and of course Bora Bora. Recounting family legends he outlined his place in the world, the nature of coconuts, eels, and crabs and all manner of things. He built us a fire, and we roasted marshmallows. We asked all the questions we could. What it is to be good, and kind.
It was overcast, and a lousy night for stargazing -but that did not matter either. It was magical, and it shaped our experience on the island. We were dog tired, but sad to say good bye that night. Through the rest of our trip, we proudly used the Tahitian words and phrases he taught us, and we learned new ones on the way.
About a week later we went snorkeling at the "Coral Garden." Looking down at the fish, Tania saw a man sitting on the bottom 3 meters down. It seemed as though he didn't need to breath. Eventually, he came up for air. It was Tau. Not kidding. As if summoned from the ocean for another greeting. He showed Tania through the coral, found us sea-horses, and other fish that he said made his belly grumble. It was hugs, and laughs and smiles. Like an old friend.
Tau, we are so happy to have met you. Thank you for your kindness. We will be back.
Mauruuru Roa Prahata.
With Love from Newfoundland and Labrador,
Oliver and Tania
P.S. If we didn't make it really obvious, you should book this adventure and ask for Tau.

Ask for, be on time with, and tip well Captain Mike! What a beautiful and rare experience. Captain Mike was there early, offered many insights as a native of the island, and had stories as well as answers to so many questions about the region, its culture, and history. He spoke artfully about the stars and how they were used for navigation as well as showed off the seldom seen places that are simply unforgettable. He provided such a singular experience that you simply won’t get on a massive tour boat.
