The morning opens on a bright lagoon: the ocean runs like a wide, restless road and the mountains of Tahiti stand like slow guardians to the east. On a two-hour jet ski outing out of Puna'auia you stand at the throttle while the lagoon pushes you forward, turquoise turning to deep blue as you cross the shallow reef toward open water. Waves nudge the hulls; the instructor scans the horizon and the shoreline slides by—a strip of volcanic green meeting powder-soft sand.
