Moorea is considered to be one of the most beautiful islands of French Polynesia. The mountainous landscape is dotted by sacred peaks reaching far into the skies, and numerous jagged ridges adorn this remarkable island. Tahiti’s sister is pristine and secluded, surrounded by colorful fringing reefs, evoking a feeling of an ancient time. Mo’orea still retains an authentic island feel, with many traditional villages, beaches, archaeological sites and lookouts to be discovered. Our Lindblad/National Geographic expedition day catered for all, from an island knowledge tour to hiking, 4-wheel driving, Zodiac exploration and stand up paddles. Unfortunately, it was time to say our farewells as National Geographic Orion sailed to Papeete, Tahiti. Moorea is so breathtaking that we could not ask for a better place to end our incredible Polynesian adventure!
