The volcanic island Mo'orea is small in area, but rich in beauty and offers varied travel experiences for several days – swimming on the white beaches, snorkeling and kayaking, as well as a nice cycling trips and trekking in the hinterland.  

1 to 2 day

Voyage to Mo'orea and Hauru point

Although it is possible to get to the island Mo'orea by air from nearby Tahiti, most tourists use pleasant hour cruise by a ferry. Then just hop on the bus on its circular way around the island and get off in the place of accommodation. It is ideal to choose a place either in the northwest in Hauru Point. There are nice beaches and the atmosphere is accomplished by coral islands motu. Or in the south at the beach Temae, from where is beautiful view of the neighboring Tahiti. After accommodating awaits you only relax on the beach and walks along the coast.

If you want to extend this circuit a little, you may ride to a wonderful outlook point Belveder and enjoy the hinterland of the island.

Kayaking and trekking in the hinterland

After a challenging bike ride we recommend spending one more day at the water. It is definitely worth to hire a kayak and sail around the small coral islands motu. The next day, you can undertake a trek into the interior of the island.
