The most beautiful trips on the island of Mo´orea
What to visit on the island of Mo´orea
The small island of Mo´orea is located next to the more famous and much larger Tahiti in French Polynesia. It offers exactly what you would expect from such an island – beautiful beaches, lush hinterland and jagged volcanic rock scenery. Classic trips here include kayaking, cycling around the island or several hiking opportunities. It is also interesting to take a ferry to the island itself.
Drive to Belvedere viewpoint
Cycle trip around Mo'orea
You can basically undertake only two cycling trips on the island – either go around the whole island along the coastal road or along the dead end road to beautiful viewpoint Belvedere (250 nm). If you want, you can manage both these trips just in one day. Of course, you will not meet many cyclists here, rather nobody – most people come here by car, which is also an alternative to this trip. From the viewpoint Belvedere you will have a beautiful view of both bays and mainly of amazing local mountains. continue reading
Beaches on Hauru Point
Best beaches in Mo'orea
The best beaches and most beautiful part of the coast in Mo'orea is at its northwest end in Hauru Point. You will find everything you would expect from the island in Polynesia: azure lagoon, coral motu islands, white beaches and of course coconut palms. In addition, there are a few places where the water is deep, so it is also possible to swim. Altogether it is about 3 km of beaches. continue reading
Hike across Three Firs Pass
Pineapple plantations and jungle
There are several possibilities for hike trips on island Mo'orea – one of such trails leads from the village Paopao at the end of bay Cook to nice outlook place Three Firs Pass. But do not expect here a well-marked path. Even the sketches in the guides are really only for rough orientation and you will most likely also fumble. Anyway, you will enjoy also „rural“ part of Mo'orea with pineapples fields and local oceanic jungle. continue reading

Bike Trip Around Mo'orea
Around the island on bike
Even in the tropical paradise of French Polynesia you can enjoy a great ride on a bike – around the entire 59 km long circular small road leading around the island Mo'orea. The only enemy will be hot weather. The traffic is only on the eastern side of the island, but it is not so bad. The most beautiful are the views of the local green mountains. continue reading
Voyage Tahiti - Mo´orea
By ferry around French Polynesia
A half-hour boat ride and 21 km – only such a small distance is between the two completely different islands of French Polynesia. Huge Tahiti with traffic jams in the capital Papeete and mountainous almost unpopulated hinterland and pocket-sized Mo'orea, where you can in a small area experience virtually everything what immense Oceania offers. continue reading
