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.
