Start your adventure in Moorea with an early morning snorkeling session at Temae Beach. One of the best beaches on the island, Temae offers clear waters and abundant marine life. Spend a few hours admiring the beautiful coral reefs and tropical fish.
Begin the day with a hike to Belvedere Lookout, one of the best places to observe the beautiful landscapes in Moorea. The hike takes about 2-3 hours round trip, and will reward you with stunning views of Cook's Bay and Opunohu Bay.
Moorea is a small island, and the best way to get around is by car or scooter. You can rent a car for around $60 per day, or scooter for $30 per day. Taxis are also available but can be expensive to use as a primary mode of transportation. Plan ahead to save money and time.
If you have more time, you can opt for a full-day island tour which includes stops at other popular destinations such as the Pineapple Plantation, Magic Mountain and the Tiki Village Cultural Centre. For those who have less time, you may choose to spend the entire day at Temae Beach or relax on the beach near your hotel.
The main airport in Moorea is Faa’a International Airport (PPT). It is located on the nearby island of Tahiti, about 10 km (6 miles) from Papeete city center. You can take a ferry or a short domestic flight to reach Moorea, with travel times of around 30-45 minutes.
