The ironman of travel Yoshimasa Ikeuchi

It is said that this is the most beautiful of all, but is it better at high tide? The best shot is when all the conditions are met. The shutter sound does not stop on a fantastic Island. Above the South Pacific Island, Kotetsu and I are looking at the heart-shaped Island. A celestial maiden is about to come down to an Island that seems to be flying in the sky.

Bora Bora, a day trip from the sea and sky ...

The sea surrounded by atolls is transparent, and the first voice of surprise at its color. "Wow, that's amazing." "After all, Bora Bora". Kotetsu screams in joy. There are Mt. Otemanu (727m) and Mt. Pahia (661m) that emphasize the landscape.

Traveling partners have the same feelings but still. The heart-shaped Island that dances in the sky may give a message to the viewer. Engrave the secret of dreams and romance in your heart. The two who could see are promised eternal love. "Secret Island" Tsubai Island is one of the Islands recommended by Tetsujin.

The lunch box is opened and a heap of fruits appears. A picnic on the sea is delicious no matter what you eat. Especially pineapple is sweet and juicy, I can't say anything like this. Two people like Honeymooner enjoyed Bora Bora on a superb boat. Luxury resorts line up in the lagoon. Many travelers wish they could relax in such a nice hotel, but it's too early for me.

The boatman has his own points and knows where the fish are. Many kinds of fish come in front of you just by sprinkling a little food. The transparency is good, but unfortunately there is no coral. You can't see the play of natural fish or swimming freely. As soon as I see the fish eating the food, I get bored. The sea of Bora Bora is really beautiful, but.

Jump in the air in front of you in search of food. It's scary to see. It's nice to see, but it takes courage to touch it. I dared to touch it, but it didn't feel good as "null". It's not dangerous, but the moment my tail touched my leg, it was "painful" and blood was slightly bleeding. Powerful "manta ray feeding" I couldn't even feed the small iron that swims by the manta ray.

When you get off at the airport, the sea is in front of you. A pure white outrigger canoe is on standby. The tranquility of the blue jewels in the sea is full of waves. This time sea activity. The first point is to look at shark feeding, Next is manta ray feeding. When 5 to 6 manta rays hit the boat, they will come to you.

A romantic air travel visited cottages all over the island from the air. Impressed by the power of flying just above the summit of Mt. Otemanu. "Tupai Island" where blue paint is drawn as if it had flowed into the sea. I want to see Tupai Island again. Looking back over and over again, my heartbeat didn't stop.

A love land floating on the sea that came into view. It cannot be seen three-dimensionally because the altitude is low. Still emerald green A heart-shaped island floating in the sea makes me crazy. Desperate shooting from a small window in a cramped cabin. There are three heart-shaped islands in the world. 　

 It's not good for us and the captain alone to seat 5 people. "Would you like to ride someone?" Local Japanese guide "REIKO". "Please" The purpose is 18km (5 minutes) to Tsubai Island. The "Island of Hearts in the Sky" helicopter heads straight for the destination.

Another Island I want to go to is "Tupai Island" An uninhabited Island that looks like a heart-shaped floating above the sea. It can only be seen by helicopter. A helicopter flies from the main Island after seeing the arrival of the aircraft on Tahiti. The helicopter was already waiting when I picked up my luggage. Anytime please.

One of the Islands that Kotetsu (wife) wants to visit. 45 minutes by direct flight from Tahiti. But many flights go via other Islands. Departs at 9:15 in the morning and returns by a flight at 14:20 in the afternoon. The sea changes many times as it approaches the island. "It’s beautiful, isn’t it?"
