Moorea - The Island of Love
Known by Tahitians as "The Island of Love", the heart-shaped island of Moorea has been a long time inspiration for masterpieces by renowned artists such as French impressionist Paul Gauguin. His artworks, now displayed in galleries worldwide, continue to captivate art enthusiasts from all corners of the globe. With its lush mountains, sun-kissed shores and breathtaking lagoon, all resembling an artist’s palette of blues and greens, glimpsing Moorea is an instant love affair.
Located just a few minutes away from Tahiti by plane, or a quick twenty-five-minute ride on a high-speed ferry, Moorea sits, rising majestically from the ocean and covered in velvety green. The neon blue waters beckon endless days of exploration, with dynamic and diverse snorkeling opportunities where dolphins and even whales can commonly be seen during their respective seasons. Take a scenic drive along the coastal road and visit the twin coves of Cook's Bay and Opunohu Bay. Discover picturesque small villages with charming shops offering local original art, Tahitian pearls, perfumes, oils, and wood handicrafts. Indulge in the delightful restaurants that line the shore that always host the most fresh delicacies for you to try. Moorea boasts a vibrant cultural scene and is dotted with intriguing historical sites, ranging from the ancient era of Polynesia to World War II, and even Hollywood's golden age. Venture into the island's glorious interior and marvel at the dramatic bright-green valleys encircled by sentinel-like mountain ridges. Embark on a hike, or opt for an ATV or jeep tour through the lush rainforest canopy and fertile valleys adorned with tropical fruit plantations. Ascend the mountains to the renowned Belvedere Lookout and Magic Mountain for stunning panoramic views.
