When considering a journey to French Polynesia, the top two locations that come to mind are Tahiti and Bora Bora.
However, visitors should also consider spending time in Moorea, the second largest island in the South Pacific – and here’s why.
Moorea is an inspiring destination for travelers seeking outdoor adventure, with its lush green cliffs, volcanic mountains, and spectacular waterfalls.
Guests who wish to participate in watersports should take advantage of all the snorkeling, diving, and surfing opportunities to be had here, while those who want to explore inland can do so via the ATV and 4×4 tours.
There are also plenty of unique eateries here that offer experiences you won’t find anywhere else, like dining with your feet in the sand at the renowned K Restaurant.
Does this sound like the island getaway you’ve always dreamed of? If so, continue reading for a list of everything you need to know to make the most out of your time here
