We had most of the day in Rangiroa before our flight back to Tahiti in the evening. There was no one checking in to the Villa so Le Coconut Lodge let us use it the rest of the day (so we didn't have to worry about getting up and checking out). We spent the morning at the beach reading and relaxing before jumping on the bikes and riding down to Tiputa pass for lunch.

We watched the fish and sharks off the dock while we ate lunch at Snack Puna. 

A small reef shark and a large Giant Morey eel:

Fish burger!

We stopped at the pass to watch the dolphins playing in the current (not pictured).

More beach time in the afternoon.

Lindsay and Seth kayaked out to "the aquarium", a famously beautiful snorkeling spot a few km away, while Jay, Ada, and I swam, paddleboarded, and snorkeled at the lagoon beach.

In the evening our host at the Coconut Lodge gave us a ride to the airport and after a short delay we were on our way back to Tahiti. We arrived late in Papeete, got our car, and drove down to our Airbnb near Taravao, on the southern aspect of Tahiti.
