Shark & Ray Feeding
This was our favorite excursion. In fact, we went on it twice. Moanareva Tours has an excellent guide. We appreciated the fact that he educated us about the Tahitian environment.
They put a rope in the water and everyone lines up holding the rope. The water is about 1.5m (5ft) deep. The guides get behind you and throw chunks of meat over your head so it lands in front of you. Within no time, black tip reef sharks will start feeding. They come quick so be ready for them.
The ray feeding is a little less hostile. They will take you to another area to feed them. Everyone stands in the water and the rays will "crawl" all over you looking for food. They are very docile creatures so don't be afraid. Remember, don't kick while in the water or they might try to protect themselves!
