Moorea
 

Moorea

Exotic Moorea, with its white sand beaches and clear lagoons, is a true tropical paradise and a favorite yacht charter destination. It’s easy to understand why James Michener based his mythical Bali Hai on Moorea. The clear waters of Oponohu Bay reflect towering peaks that rise dramatically from the sea. And a wide lagoon surrounds the waterfall-filled mountains and gentle meadows.

Yacht charter visitors will find a well paved road that runs along the 40 mile shore - it can be traversed by a hired car, scooter or bike. The Belvedere Lookout offers truly spectacular vistas and is located in the island’s interior between Cook’s and Oponohu Bay. The village of Afareaitu offers access to a dramatic waterfall. Golfers can enjoy the newly created Jack Nicklaus designed course. Visit Paopao, an open air market and church with beautiful painted murals. Island Fashion Black Pearls is recommended for quality pearls.

"People really do wear flowers in their hair and play the ukulele, and everyone is nice. I think Bora Bora is now our favorite island. We spent hours in the huge lagoon snorkeling and swimming."
