SHORE tour of a different nature.
Cruisers visiting Mare, P&O’s new Pacific Island destination, are being won over by a coconut coloured dog with a taste for the tropics. The pup spends her days happily leaping off a rocky outcrop into the waters of Tadine Bay to fetch falling coconuts which she then carries across sharp rocks to one of her husk coloured “workshops”. Here, she uses her teeth and paws to rip away the tough outer shell, a job usually reserved for a machete, to get to the sweet coconut meat and juice.
