Travel Review: Luxury Vacation in The French Polynesia, Bora Bora, Rangiroa, Moorea, Snorkeling, Jet Skiing, Hiking, Wildlife

Loved the snorkeling in Moorea. The lagoon in front of our bungalow was steps away from the warm, inviting and sparkling blue waters. The ocean was teeming with life. Beautiful fish, sea cucumbers-and I didn't need to wear a wet suit since it was so warm. Nor did I have to swim very deep to access the wildlife. I am a bit of a chicken and get a little seasick so I prefer snorkeling from land (rather than a charter boat)---so I absolutely loved it.
Bora Bora-was a 1 hour flight away. 
It was also beautiful but not much fish in the local lagoon. We had to take a boat out to sea to see the fish and fauna. Again, it did not seem as the coral or fish were as colorful as Moorea. Swimming with the innocuous black finned sharks was nice and I enjoyed the manta rays. What's cool about the hotel in Bora Bora is that there is a manta ray feeding area where once a day one of the employees offers them fish and you can gather around in the knee deep water and gently touch them. My family found this thrilling and memorable.
They also enjoyed jet-skiing around the island.
Rangiroa -was a 1 hour flight away.
Quaint, excellent service. Not much snorkeling in lagoon. However, if you go to the ocean (which is a short walk away)--there are awesome shells to collect and bring home. The ocean is pounding here so I am not sure if it is safe to snorkel here.
