It is important to note that driving is on the right side of the road in Moorea, and travelers must be comfortable navigating mountainous terrain.

Useful Tips

For travelers who have more time, add a visit to the Polynesian Spa, a guided snorkeling tour at the Lagoonarium, or an ATV tour of the island's rugged interior. If you have less time, consider skipping the trip to the Moorea Tiki Village or the Moorea Dolphin Center. Instead, visit the Tiahura Beach or the Moorea Lagoonarium to experience the beautiful underwater world of Moorea.
