SOME THINGS TO SEE AND DO IN MOOREA



Snorkeling SNORKELLING HEAVEN
 

The island’s lagoon waters are crystal-clear and home to the famous shark and ray feeding demonstrations. Feed the reef sharks in the lagoon and experience a kiss from a sting ray!

Mountain MOUNTAIN EXPLORATION
 

Take a guided tour of the island of Moorea to the Belvedere lookout and admire stunning views around Cooks Bay & Oponohu Bay. Both Bays are surrounded by lush green heights of striking mountain peaks and pineapple plantations. Don’t forget your camera as you won’t want to miss those photo opportunities.

Poisson Cru PICNICS AND POISSON CRU
 

Learn how to make this famous Tahitian dish, the perfect picnic snack. Poisson Cru is translated as raw fish in French. It is generally considered the national dish of Tahiti and the islands of French Polynesia and is made with the freshest ingredients. While most commonly made with raw fresh tuna it can also be prepared with a number of other fish such as crab, eel, lobster, squid and sea urchin. Yummy!

Catch some waves CATCH SOME WAVES
 

Join in with the friendly locals and surf at Haapiti, one of the world’s most consistent breaks. Many of the waves in Tahiti & her islands break quite far from shore so its recommended to get to them by boat rather than paddling. Haapiti is best for experienced surfers.

Ride a bike RIDE A BIKE
 

Moorea is relatively flat with just a few minor hills, making it perfect for cycling, its only 60km. Cycling is a great way to discover the interior of the island with its waterfalls & cool rivers. Take a packed lunch to enjoy along the way.

Horse Trekking HORSE TREKKING
 

In an exceptional location, at the foot of Mount Rotui, discover the valley of the Belvedere on horseback. Head through the midst of pineapple fields, and majestic valleys surrounded by primary forests. Enjoy breath-taking views of the caldera and the interior of the island of Moorea.

Golf GOLF
 

If you are a golfer and you want to play a round in French Polynesia don’t miss the lagoon-side Moorea Green Pearl Golf Course. The welcome is warm and the views are incredible.

Fresh Pineapple Juice PINEAPPLE PLANTATIONS
 

Some say the sweetest tasting pineapples are found in Moorea due to its fertile volcanic soil. Stop in at one of the Pineapple plantations and sample some freshly squeezed pineapple juice for yourself.(Image: ©Tahiti Tourisme)
