Moorea Travel Guide

 14 Reviews  One of the best places to enjoy the views of Moorea is from the Belvedere, which I believe is Italian for "Great View". It is all of that and more. From here you can see a view of Cook's bay, all the mountains that create Moorea's volcano and also most of the water view on this side of the... 

 25 Reviews  Ia Ora Dive Center is located at the Sofitel Ia Ora Moorea Beach Resort. Since they don't do transfers, this dive center is mainly for guests at the Sofitel. We did our first real dive since becoming certified here. We told the dive leader this, and he was very helpful and courteous, ensuring that... 

 8 Reviews  If you are a movie fan or a history buff, you will definitely want to go to Opunohu Bay, which carries significant history. It is where the HMS Bounty landed to search for breadfruit causing what is known today as the Mutiny on the Bounty. I would highly recommend taking a look at this movie prior... 

 5 Reviews  Beaches are of course one of the features you would expect from a tropical island... We did the major part of our "beach time" at Hotel Hibiscus, the spot really had its own enchantment and tranquility. Most of the beaches are hidden and can be reached through the various hotels, but Moorea has also... 

 8 Reviews  Those interested in Polynesian archaeology will have a field day in the Opunohu Valley, which stretches from the head of Cook's Bay up towards Belvédère. A number of marae are scattered about this area just off the main road leading up to the lookout. These are generally religious sites, where... 

 ATXtraveler Says:  As we sat in the lobby of our hotel room waiting for "pickup" which you will learn is the key to dining in Moorea, another couple which we had transported with a night before was sitting there waiting for their ride. We conversed again, and they mentioned going to Chez... 

 5 Reviews  From Tahiti, the quickest way to reach Moorea is to fly this tiny airplane. A funny flight actually, very noisy and not that reassuring, although you can control each of the pilot's moves : there is no door separating him from his passengers... It was very strange to see him push on all those... 

 6 Reviews  You dont really need a car to go around the island. You can rent a scooter, or bikes or do a tour. Renting a car is pricey especially if you want a 4x4 jeep. You are looking at 90 to 100 dollars for 24 hours. We didnt rent it for the whole time we were there. We only got it for a 24 hour period and... 

 2 Reviews  Traveling around Moorea by bicycle is a wonderful way to see the island. You can go where you want, you're not restricted to paved roads, and yet you can get around easily without sacrificing your freedom. That being said, this does take some stamina. Although some may scoff at the idea of being... 

 Muya Says:  It seems that there is a black pearl shop every 5 meters on Moorea…:-) We checked the prices in the area of Hotel Hibiscus and it turned out that Herman Pearl was the one that offered the most interesting discounts. The shop assistant kindly explained to us a few things... 

 iolanthe108 Says:  Really fun! You can rent a horse and a guide for a few hours -- at the hotels and perhaps other spots too -- and ride up to Belvedere lookout and then through the plantations, through the jungle, and so on for a few hours. This was something that we did on our last day in...
