Many visitors say it is worth the airfare to see Moorea's spectacular bays.The volcanic peaks, reflected in the tranquil waters of Cook's Bay and Opunohu Bay, rise like a shark's jaw from the island's basaltic base.

The mountain slopes are covered with pineapple plantations, and white sand beaches border crystalline lagoons.

After only a few days, you will discover that Moorea has filled you with peace, delight and a wonderful sense of happiness.
