Icon3 Some Photos from my Honeymoon in Tahiti (1 Rolex Shot)

I got married April 21st, then on April 23rd went off to Tahiti for 2 weeks for our honeymoon.

We stayed on a private island for the first 6 days called the Le Taha'a resort. Only a 60 guest capacity with 180 full time staff. I've stayed at Four Seasons, Ritz Carltons, Lowes, Raffle's, W's, etc and have NEVER had better service then we had at the Le Taha'a resort. It was AMAZING.

From Le Taha'a we chartered a Helicopter that picked us up at the helipad at Le Taha'a and flew to Bora Bora, where we stayed at the Bora Bora Nui (also had a helipad) for 7 days, also a gorgeous resort. Service wasn't as good as Le Taha'a however it was still great.

All in all the greatest trip of my life, and it will likley be hard to top. I took 354pics, here are just a few. Enjoy

Great photos, sounds like you had the trip of a lifetime.
Tropical paradise, can't ask for more than that.
Looks like your sub came through with flying colours.

Great pics, Spence. Bora Bora is beautiful. Did you take the jeep ride around the island to the WW2 ruins on the top of the high points of island?

BTW, where are the pics of you and your bride. One pic of her back does not do her justice.

I was so mesmerized by the Rolex, so big in the center of the frame, that I almost missed the naked girl in the background!

Congratulations, Spencer!

And those photos are fabulous. That water is so clear and blue - it reminded me of the waters around the Cayman Islands. Thanks for sharing!
