Just back from my Paul Gauguin cruise around the Society Islands of French Polynesia, so I'll begin with this shot from the last day of my trip. Our group enjoyed a 4x4 excursion around the island, viewing some of the spectacular scenery — Moorea's jagged mountain peaks and panoramic views of Cook's Bay and Opunohu Bay from high above the sea. It was a misty and sometimes rainy December day, but the weather made the scenery even more dramatic. See above my picture of Mt. Mouroa taken from a pineapple field.
Moorea is a destination for adventure travelers, and the especially daring can take these tours on an individual ATV for a thrill-filled outing. Other activities include snorkeling or SCUBA diving over reefs abundant with colorful coral and tropical fish.
Also great for a romantic holiday, Moorea has overwater bungalows and white sand beaches. Contact me if you'd like specific resort information or would like to plan a complete honeymoon package.
