Moorea

Moorea, often likened to James Michener's mythical island of Bali Hai, is only 11 miles from Tahiti. Many visitors say it is worth the visit just to see Moorea's spectacular bays. The volcanic peaks, reflected in the waters of Cook's Bay and Opunohu Bay, rise like a shark's jaw from the island's base. Sharks sighting on nearly every dive makes this island a popular diving destination. At times a tuna will come by or dolphins will be heard clicking just out of sight.

The following Shore Excursions are available for this port on this cruise, and may be reserved beginning 180 days before the cruise begins.

If you love photography, then don't miss this unique and exclusive half-day guided tour of Moorea with accomplished professional photographer Renaud Sayada.

Accompanied by Renaud, you will depart the pier aboard a private, 4WD vehicle for a guided photo tour of Moorea. Renaud will offer photographic tips and interesting information about the island throughout the tour.

Your tour will begin with a drive to the interior of the island along large pineapple fields, and past sub-tropical forests dotted with ancient archeological sites. En route, a stop will be made at Belvedere's lookout point for spectacular views and photo opportunities of Rotui, a beautiful mountain separating Cook's Bay and the pristine Opunohu Bay.

Next, you will drive along the coastal road to the island's west coast, where you will take expansive views of lush green vegetation, beautifully manicured gardens, a turquoise blue lagoon and the Pacific Ocean's endless horizon.

Weather permitting, you will see sites that include the famed Magic Mountain, which overlooks the northern part of the island and offers spectacular aerial views of the barrier reef. The highlight of this photo adventure tour will include visits to off-road locations in the island's interior. Additional sites to be seen include the Papetoai fishing village, and the interior of the crater. Refreshments will be served during the tour.

Please note: A maximum of six guests will be permitted on this tour. This tour will be adapted to the weather forecast and light of the day. As this tour involves travel over bumpy surfaces, guests with back and/or neck problems, guests with limited mobility or guests who utilize a wheelchair are discouraged from participating. Wear comfortable clothing, and bring sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses and a camera from the ship.
