The majesty of Moorea rises above the twin bays of Opunohu and Cooks to the Belvedere lookout and the top of the soaring peaks that dominate the skyline. The island continues to the clear waters of the multi-hued lagoon and beyond to spectacular sunsets on the horizon. Its close proximity to Tahiti makes for an easy 10-minute transfer by plane or half hour by ferry. This accessibility makes Moorea a popular destination for locals and "short stay" visitors, who come from Papeete for a fun-filled day trip. Besides relaxing on the beach, you can occupy yourself with numerous activities. One unique experience that you won't forget is Moorea Dolphin Center; where you can actually swim with dolphins.
