| Moorea can be easily visited from Tahiti, either
by boat (35 mn) or by plane (10 mn). Because of the short distance
that separates Tahiti and Moorea (10 miles / 17 km), it often carries
the nickname of Sister island (of Tahiti).
Moorea is covered by trees, carefully maintained gardens, beautiful
fares with pandanus roofs, cool rivers and waterfalls. Many beautiful
white sand beaches can be found around Temae (near the airport)
and Haapiti – the northern coast between Papetoai and Haapiti
gathers the most tourists with many hotels and two gorgeous motus
(islets) facing Hauru’s point.
Many dolphins can be seen near Moorea’s passes and every
year, the whales attracted by their natural curiosity come to swim
with their babies near the reef (they can be observed from July
to October).
Moorea lagoon is perfect to practise all kind of nautical
activities (snorkelling, diving, jet-ski …).
To discover the inner-island, tourists will be able to choose
between an island circle tour or a ride over mount Rotui (899 meters).
Don’t forget to have a look at the waterfalls of
Afareaitu.
A visit to Opunohu and Cook Bay is obviously recommended – both
bays can be admired from the Belvedere viewpoint.
