Tough Shell. Soft Heart.

Coconut tea, beach wraps, and a great tan may be the only things you plan to bring back home from Bora Bora… However, don’t be shocked if adoption papers find their way back with you too – a hawksbill turtle may just steal your heart. Every morning at the Turtle Sanctuary at Le Meridien Bora Bora, the dedicated staff invites hotel guests from all over the island for the turtles daily 10 a.m. feeding time. You get to learn all about the Turtle Sanctuary’s efforts to protect the turtles of Tahiti, as well as their plans to release healthy, adult turtles into the wild. After the turtles are full of tuna, you can snorkel with them in the hotel’s lagoon, and get great pictures of your newly adopted family member to post proudly on the fridge when you get home. Your tan may fade when you get back from Bora Bora, but your pictures and memories will last a lifetime…
