Moorea is a small island opposite the famous Tahiti. Even so, it offers a number of beautiful places – impressive volcanic peaks, snow-white beaches, beautiful bays and lush inland vegetation with many waterfalls. Let's take a look at the most beautiful places on the island of Moorea

1.
Cook Bay

The most beautiful bay on Moorea

Altitude: 0 m / 0 ft

Cook Bay is only a bit smaller than the side Opunohu, but it is even more beautiful thanks to the amazing views of the local famous Mouaroa peak. continue reading

2.
Temae Beach

Royal view of Tahiti

Rating:
| Altitude: 7 m / 23 ft

Temae Beach is just a Polynesian classic – swimming in beautiful lagoon and royal view of Tahiti. Of course, coconut palms and snow-white sand can not be missed here. continue reading

3.
Mount Mouaroa (880m asl)

Beautiful mountain on the island of Moorea

Altitude: 880 m / 2 887 ft

Mouaroa is a truly amazing mountain that still attracts the eye. Unfortunately, the tourist path does not lead to it or to other local peaks (ie outside the road to Mount Rotui). continue reading

4.
Moorea Tipaniers beach

The most beautiful beach on Hauru Point

Altitude: 6 m / 20 ft

Unlike the Mediterranean, for example, the local beaches are rather narrow, so there are few of them. Each accommodation here has access to its beach, but all are basically public, so if you walk along the beach, you can swim everywhere. continue reading

5.
Mount Tohivea (1,207m)

The highest mountain on the island of Moorea

Altitude: 1 207 m / 3 960 ft

Practically all places in the south of the island of Moorea have a view of the highest mountain – Mount Tohivea (1,207m). There are a number of waterfalls around the top of the mountain. The hiking trail does not lead to the very top continue reading

6.
Motu Tiahuru

Picturesque motu

Altitude: 12 m / 39 ft

Motu Tiahuru is a picturesque island in the northwest of the island of Moorea near a place called Hauru Point. You can get there on a boat or on a rented kayak. The locals still sail here on catamaran-like boats – mainly because these boats have a very small draft, ideal for these shallow Pacific lagoons. continue reading

7.
Opunohu Bay

The most famous bay on the island of Moorea

Altitude: 0 m / 0 ft

The largest bay on the island of Moorea is Opunohu. It is more than two and a half kilometers deep into the island. The local main ring road runs along it. From the northeast end of Opunohu Bay there are nice views of the surrounding beautiful nature and huge cruise ships. continue reading

8.
Mount Rotui (899m)

Mountain above Opunohu and Cook bays

Altitude: 899 m / 2 949 ft

From the Belvedere viewpoint there is a beautiful view not only of the two famous bays Opunohu and Cook, but also of the impressive mountain Rotui, which rises directly above them. An interesting hiking trail starts at Rotui Mountain, starting at Ta'ahiamanu Beach continue reading

9.
Motu Fareone

The largest island in the lagoon Moorea

Altitude: 4 m / 13 ft

10.
Mt. Mouaputa (830m)

Mountain above the port of Vaiare

Altitude: 830 m / 2 723 ft

You haven't even landed yet and you are already captivated by the local beautiful mountain scenery. Directly above the port of Vaiare rises the beautiful peak of Mount Mouaputa. continue reading

11.
Motu Afareaitu

Picturesque island

Altitude: 0 m / 0 ft

Another very nice place after this tour is the bay of Vaiare – for most tourists the entry point to this island thanks to the ferry port connecting Mo´oreu with Tahiti. After another three kilometers, a view of the nice motar Afareaitu opens up, the only one outside the Hauru Point area. On the local narrow beach, mainly locals relax. continue reading
