Things to do in French Polynesia, French Polynesia: The Best Other Outdoor Activities
Tahiti and Bora Bora are the most well known French Polynesian islands, thanks to their picture-perfect beaches and romantic ambiance. Indeed, these islands are ideal for handholding, with their lush landscapes and mood-setting features like lagoons and grottos. The heart-shaped island of Mo’orea makes a wonderful base for divers and snorkelers eager to explore its surrounding barrier reef system. Feeding the massive, sacred eels of Huahine is a one-in-a-lifetime way to experience an important local ritual.

The coral gardens are incredible. If staying at Le Taha'a you should cross over to the motu across the channel, walk towards the open sea area at the end and then get in. When you do be careful because that's where the current is strongest. To avoid the coral you can stay on the outside closest to the shoreline that you enter. For better scenery try to get into the middle of the channel asap. There are a ton of fish. Most are small. The exception was a giant trigger fish that was a little aggressive. He was about 1 foot tall and 1.5-2 feet long. They have nasty looking teeth too. He was right in the middle close to where the gardens start. You definitely need water shoes and if you have gloves, a rash guard/swim shirt, and board shorts even better. I went through 6-8 times over a few days and while sometimes I escaped unscathed, on 2 occasions I ended up with scrapes. I was being aggressive though and swimming in some tight areas and where the coral comes very close to the surface. On one occasion I swung my arm to paddle and my palm scraped the coral cutting me in a few places. On another occasions I scraped my knees and the side of my calf on coral. A week later it's still healing. Definitely worth the experience though. I recommend water shoes over flippers because when the water gets really shallow you may want to stand and walk out but you need to step around the coral. Some area are tight and flippers wouldn't fit where you're trying to step plus it's hard to walk in them anyways.

This is a must do, but some of the rope climbing at the end was a bit scary for me. And I -- who exercise every day -- was so out of breath that I was scared I would faint. Had I taken it more slowly and stopped frequently, I would have enjoyed the climb. But on top it was awe-inspiring.

We have done the jet ski tour with Moorea Explorer and enjoyed it a lot. Driving a jet ski is so much fun. We visited the two bays made a stop to relax and had the chance to see sharks and stingrays when snorkeling in the lagoon. The tour is highly recommended!
