Day 05 - Shells Islet / Pink Sand Islet / Birds’ Islet Visit a local family on their private “motu,” the Shells Islet, and discover their way of life, away from civilization. This family is one of the only ones still digging Rangiroa’s hostile grounds to find those very precious orange shells used in the islands to make the beautiful shells necklaces. Snorkel in this pristine lagoon before returning to the yacht for lunch. In the afternoon, head towards the Pink Sand Islet, a long strip of pink sand floating above a crystal-clear lagoon.
