Mo‘orea

Known as the magic island Mo‘orea lies just 12 miles from Tahiti. A vast star shaped garden with lush green almost vertical mountain peaks that descend steeply to meet sun-kissed sand and a clear turquoise lagoon. This is the epitome of a true tropical island; a Tahitian Island you will never want to leave.

Much of Mo‘orea’s life is focussed on the beach, the lagoon and beyond to the deep sea.

Dr Michael Poole a world marine and mammal specialist leads dolphin and whale watching expeditions between July and October when the great humpback whales arrive to spend their winter in warmer waters.

Mo‘orea has excellent surfing waves and there are 4 top surfing spots around the island that are suitable for advanced and experienced surfers

You can arrive at Mo‘orea by boat or by Air Tahiti out of Tahiti. Air Mo‘orea operates a shuttle service between Pape’ete (capital of Tahiti) every 30 minutes to one hour. The flight takes 10 minutes. There is also a high speed ferry that takes 30 minutes from Pape’ete to Mo‘orea.

Once on the island there are various forms of transport to get you around. Le Truck is the local bus that circumnavigates the island on a schedule that corresponds to the arrival and departure times of the ferries. There are rental car companies for those that would like to view Mo‘orea by car. Motor scooters can also be hired and bicycles are also widely available.
