Tahiti Week 4: Coconut Day, Last Hike and Surf Competition!

by Veronica Sedano (written on August 19)

Our last week in Tahiti consisted of variety of activities. We dedicated a whole day to learning about coconuts. Coconuts are used in every way possible here, they are used to start a fire, to eat, for body/hair products, you name it.

We then took our last hike! We drove to the site, which was 2 hours away and hiked for what was seemed to be 30 minutes, but it was all worth it because we were able to swim in this gorgeous waterfall.
