I arrived in Tahiti early in the morning (around 1am) and got to wait in the airport 'til later that morning for my flight to Bora Bora (around 8am). I checked into the youth hostel and immediately rented a bike and went around the island (and got sunburnt). That afternoon I rented a kayak and paddled around. The next day I took a scuba diving lesson - saw some sharks and a few fish, but no manta rays. Flew from Bora Bora to Huahine. The hostel I stayed at there was more in the town of Fare. I rented a bike there too and saw some of the island. Didn't seem to be much to do there (and laying on the beach with a sunburn wasn't too appealing). Spent a couple days there then went back to Tahiti. I wasn't ready for relaxing and lazing about, so I bumped up my flight to New Zealand and left the islands a couple days early.
