Snorkeling with reef sharks
14 months ago
Did it in 2001 in Bora Bora. I was with a group that watched the sharks get fed a lot of chum, and then if you wanted you could snorkel in and amongst them. It was great!

That flight was longer (an hour I think) and we flew to the West Maui Mountains and out over the island of Molokai. The pilot was grea… Read how I did it…
