Why visit Moorea, French Polynesia

Moorea, a volcanic island boasting dramatic mountain peaks and turquoise lagoons, offers an immersive escape. Experience the clear, calm waters by snorkeling, diving, or paddleboarding, and swim alongside stingrays and black-tip reef sharks. From July to November, encounter humpback whales. On land, explore scenic viewpoints like Belvedere Lookout for panoramic views of Cook's and Opunohu Bays, or hike the Mont Rotui Trail. Relax on white-sand beaches such as Temae Beach. This island appeals to couples, families, beachgoers, and adventure seekers alike.

Plan your visit

The dry season, May to October, is ideal for visiting Moorea, offering sunny weather perfect for activities, though it's also peak tourist season. For whale watching, aim for July to November. A 3 to 5-day visit allows ample time to experience the island. Moorea is easily combined with Tahiti, just a short ferry or flight away from Faa'a International Airport (PPT). Many travelers also extend their trip to include Bora Bora. To reach Moorea, fly into PPT on Tahiti, then take a ferry from Papeete or a brief domestic flight to Temae Airport (MOZ).
