Moorea

Moorea is an island that captivates you instantly. Located just about 30 minutes by ferry from Tahiti, it feels like a completely different world. Lush green mountains rise dramatically from the lagoon, creating one of the most breathtaking panoramas in the entire Pacific.

The island is best known for its two iconic bays – Cook's Bay and Opunohu Bay. These deep bays are surrounded by towering mountains and are among the most photographed places in all of French Polynesia.

The lagoon around Moorea is perfect for snorkeling. In the shallow, crystal-clear waters you can swim with stingrays, small reef sharks, and countless tropical fish.
