Moorea Honeymoon

The gorgeous island of Moorea offers newlywed couples an idyllic and romantic honeymoon destination, just 20km away from the more commercial island of Tahiti.

Moorea is an island of wild, yet enchanting beauty, where jagged volcanic peaks rise steeply from lush valleys, powder-white beaches and an emerald lagoon encircled by an offshore coral reef that offers perfect conditions for swimming, diving and snorkelling in this island paradise.

Things to do and see
Experience an array of adventurous honeymoon activities on Moorea: Cruise Cook’s Bay beneath the majestic panorama of Mount Mouaputa, Mount Mouaroa (aka Mt Bali Hai) and Mount Rotui or alternatively, hike inland to the Belvédère overlook for awesome panoramic vistas overlooking Mount Rotui and both Cook and Opunohu bays.

Snorkel or kayak above coral gardens teeming with colourful reef fish, circumnavigate the island by car or bicycle, and sunbathe on gorgeous Temae Beach with stunning views across the South Pacific Ocean to Tahiti. Later, soak up Polynesian culture at hip-swaying fire and dance performances at Tiki Village.

Moorea (pronounced MOE-oh-ray-ah) is one of the leeward islands of the Society Islands in French Polynesia. Less developed than Tahiti, the 137sq km island retains an authentic Polynesian island atmosphere with a rural lifestyle and attractive traditional villages that dot the coastal plain.
