Moorea, French Polynesia

French Polynesia

A 3-day trip to Moorea, French Polynesia

Jagged volcanic peaks, brilliant lagoon waters, and road-trip freedom 30 minutes from Tahiti.

Moorea offers the dramatic, emerald-and-sapphire topography travelers expect from French Polynesia, but with a degree of freedom and accessibility that Bora Bora lacks. Sitting just a 30- to 45-minute ferry crossing from Papeete, this 60-kilometer ring of reef-protected waters and razor-sharp volcanic ridges lets you pair overwater bungalow luxury with unscripted roadside roulottes, pineapple plantation dirt roads, and unguided snorkeling off public sands.
