Getting there

   

An extra bungalow is available on request. There are two separate beds (without bathroom) ceiling-fan and external covered veranda. This bungalow is adapted for two kids or a young couple. It is available free of charge only in case that you rent the villa in full and you are more than 4 people.

To go shopping for foods, there is a free daily shuttle with our boat to the main island. There are two grocery stores, restaurants, pizzerias, bureau de change, Internet café, telephone booth, rent car and scooters and many other shops just a stone's throw away. A medical-service and dentist is also available near at hand.

Swimming, scuba diving, snorkelling, sailing, fishing...water sports of all description are the most popular activities on Moorea.

"Scuba Diving Magazine" labelled Moorea as one of the most beautiful and varying dive sites in the world.

Take a plunge into the "Lagoonarium", a portion of the lagoon dedicated to interaction with the area's marine life, with knowledgeable guides which will coax you through encounters with sea turtles, stingrays, dolphins and even sharks!

"The Rose Garden" is a dive primarily for experienced divers.
The depths reach 140 feet, and the extensive coral beds are home to lemon sharks, sea turtles, manta rays and schools of tuna.

Migrating whales can be routinely seen during diving excursions.

For a complete "get away from it all" experience, you can rent a charter boat and hire a knowledgeable sea captain to take you on a scenic cruise around the island and to end a day by taking a sunset cruise around the lagoon.


 

For those who want to remain on dry land, away from the coast, Moorea's  terrain becomes a tropical, mountainous wonder.
One of the most popular hikes is a two-hour jaunt that takes visitors between Mount
 Tearai and Mount Mouaputa, then goes down the valley to reach Paopao 
in Cook's Bay.
You can see all the way to Tahitifrom points along the trail. Enjoy the view from Belvedere Lookout Point, which provided the setting for the film "Return of the Bounty".
Another popular trek takes you through the rainforest at the Pass of the "Three Coconut Trees". Hikers are rewarded with panoramic views of Mont Rotui and, on a clear day, all the way to the atoll of Tetiaroa. A smallish hike takes visitors to the Afareaitu waterfalls.
Discovering Moorea from the air by helicopter, is another way of looking at things. The views of the peaks and basalt needles, canyons with their rushing impetuous waterfalls from this height and give you an especially charming insight into Polynesia.
