Rangiroa: Where Dolphins Meet Sharks

Sharks and dolphins are thought to be deadly enemies but at Rangiroa atoll, two hours flight north of Tahiti, they share one of the world's most dynamic habitat. Dolphins play in the standing waves created when the current rushing out of the lagoon meet the waves coming in from the sea. The dolphins use the waves to sling themselves into huge leaps.

What time of year was this!?

i was in Bora Bora in late December-early January and I didn't see anything like this!

But TONS of sharks-because they feed them.

And the swell from the ocean is nothing like I've ever felt.
