Top Things to do in Moorea
What to do and see in Moorea, Society Islands: The Best Sights & Landmarks
The world's largest coral reef eco-system actually consists of 3,000 separate reefs. The island of Moorea serves as the perfect base camp for snorkelers and scuba divers seeking to come face-to-face with the diversity of life that darts among the coral. Non-swimmers can enjoy the same parade of astounding creatures from the dry perch of a glass-bottomed boat. Formed when half of a monolithic volcano crumbled to the blue-green sea, Moorea is an achingly exquisite heart-shaped island that is simply paradise found.

Overlooking the panoramic Opunohu Valley and Cook and Opunohu Bays, this spectacular scenic overlook was the setting in the popular film, "Return of the Bounty."

We took an ATV tour that took us up to Belvedere Lookout. This view is absolutely breathtaking! There are huge mango and avocado trees, several hiking trails, great spots for taking photos, and lots of chickens! We went on a misty day in the offseason and so it wasn't too crowded. However, this area is quite small and I can imagine it is hectic during busier times of the year. This is a view not to be missed!

Parked up here to watch the sunrise. Easy access, plenty of parking in the morning. The sun rises behind the island of Tahiti from this viewpoint. While we were there, several locals stopped by to watch the sunrise as well.

If you want to experience a traditional Polynesian show and dance, this is the one. It is only available on Tuesday and Fridays nights. There is a shuttle that picks you up at your location and drop you off. They give insight on Polnesian culture and explain how they prepare the food in the fire pit. Afterwards, the host guide the group on a tour on a little history lesson to show paintings, art, wood work, etc. Then, they provide a buffet dinner and show the audience different ways to wear a sarong for both women and men and grab members from the audience to participate. After a full dinner, you will watch the amazing dancing, fire show, and they will grab members to participate. It is a fun and memorable night!

It’s really the only thing I can comment on, as it was all we did there, but it was great! Friends had the soursop and loved it, I had coconut and vanilla and especially liked the vanille! We we’re on an e-bike tour and made a stop there, learned a little about the interesting school too.

This stop was part of our tour and it was very interesting and I loved hearing about the history. The people on Moorea were so nice and you could just see how proud they are of their heritage. I really would love to go back some day.
