Today, National Geographic Orion arrived at the seldom visited atoll of Niau in the Tuamotu Archipelago. After an early afternoon snorkel in the crystal-clear water, we made our way to shore. A replenishing coconut readied us to go out and explore. Some of us ventured out on a cultural walk, some on a photo walk, some on a natural history walk, and some set out to find the rare Niau (Tuamotu) kingfisher. Success was achieved in all facets.
