Fatti rapidi: Once a key anchorage for Captain James Cook's voyages, this bay buzzed with 18th-century exploration energy. Local legends say the turquoise waters are spiritually connected to the island's ancestral gods, adding mystique beneath the waves.
Punti salienti: The still bay waters mirror a stunning panorama of vibrant coral reefs just beneath the surface, perfect for snorkeling fans. On moonlit nights, the bay glows subtly with bioluminescent plankton, turning every splash into a sparkling light show.
