Moorea

A lush and green interior and a surrounding turquoise lagoon, as well as easy access from Tahiti, make Moorea popular and rewarding for both couples and families.

Less than 10 minutes away from Tahiti by air, or less than one hour by ferry are the deep, spectacular bays and white sand beaches of Moorea.

Moorea boasts a wide, shallow lagoon and vertical mountains where poetic threads of waterfalls tumble down fern-softened cliffs. Pastel-painted houses surrounded by gardens of hibiscus and birds of paradise circle the island in a fantasy of happy, simple villages.

The craggy volcanic peaks, reflected in the tranquil waters of Cook’s Bay and Oponohu Bay, rise like a shark’s jaw from Moorea’s basaltic base. The lush mountain slopes are covered with rain forest or pineapple plantations, and white sand beaches border crystalline lagoons.
