Our day began anchored off Wallis Island, a hidden Polynesian gem surrounded by a serene lagoon. Rarely visited by outsiders, the island offered breathtaking charm.

Guests explored Mount Lulu, the island’s highest point, with some hiking down and others enjoying the ride back to the stunning cathedral. There, we savored refreshing local snacks, drinks, and fresh fruit.

Meanwhile, a group of divers explored the famed blue hole, cruising turquoise waters to find vibrant marine life below. Lionfish, squirrelfish, and juvenile damselfish thrived among the coral, showcasing the reef’s stunning biodiversity.

After lunch, we set sail aboard National Geographic Orion, looking forward to new adventures ahead.
