Believed by some to be the most beautiful of the French Polynesian islands, Moorea is often where Hollywood takes its stock shots of the deep bays, emerald lagoons and jagged mountains for their films. Its awe-inspiring scenic views include Mount Mouaroa, Bali Hai Mountain or "Shark's Tooth," and the breathtaking panorama seen at the Belvédère. Just thirty minutes by ferry from Papeete on Tahiti, Moorea leaves visitors feeling less hemmed in and is an excellent place for swimming, snorkeling, diving and boating on its white sand beaches that are far cooler to walk on than the black sand of Tahiti. There are also safari tours, lagoon excursions and dolphin and whale watching to fill a person's day with fun and excitement.
