FERRY from TAHITI to MOOREA and transfer via ALBERT TOURS to SOFITEL MOOREA
I made this video to help walk anyone interested in visiting Mo'orea through the process of transferring from the Tahiti ferry to your destination in Mo'orea. Check out my prior video if you are interested in seeing the process to travel from Los Angeles (LAX) airport to Tahiti (Papeete) (PPT).
It was an overcast day and raining on and off when we arrived on the ferry in December, so I would recommend sitting inside on the ferry if there is a chance of bad weather, as the ferry did fill up inside. (note: check out my other videos with sunny days in Mo'orea to get a better feel for the beauty of the island ☀️).
In Tahiti, Pacific for Less booked our ground transportation from the ferry dock to the Sofitel Mo'orea la Ora Beach Resort via Albert Tours. The owner, Albert, drove us in an air-conditioned van, and he was wonderful. The van is shared with arrivals going to other hotels, but the Sofitel is the first stop (only 5 minutes from the ferry dock in Mo'orea). Albert gave us information about the island and tours he hosts on the short drive, and he provides his personal phone number to call for questions or changes when anyone books through him. He took our Pacific for Less vouchers for the van arrival and return home when we arrived, and he called our hotel and arranged our van pickup for departure on the day we left Mo'orea.
Four tours, we already had an ATV tour booked via Pacific for Less through the Sofitel, but Pacific for Less sent me a text the day before to let us know our tour operator was sick so had to cancel. Pacific for Less acted promptly, immediately re-booked us with Albert Tours and texted us the confirmation. It was a great experience. I would recommend Pacific for Less and Albert Tours for great service and seamless travel.

Transcript:
Tahiti, despite her natural beauty, has few sandy beaches.
With the coming of air travel and tourism, the need for beaches
developed. Fortunately, the solution was close
at hand on the neighboring island of Moorea.
The short ferry trip across the channel is a cultural
and sometimes zoological treat.
Just twelve miles from Tahiti, Moorea
offers a pleasant change of pace.
Though smaller and not as towering (vertical-steep?) as Tahiti,
the landscape of Moorea is more abrupt
and more dramatic. This fact, coupled with her
superb beaches, has made Moorea the resort base for Tahiti's visitors.
Soon after Tahiti built its international airport,
three businessmen from California dropped out
and started quite a trend here on Moorea
by creating the first over-the-water bungalows for
visitors. These unique structures offer not only
privacy but a personal aquarium as well.
The idea was so popular that overwater bungalows
have spread to other islands.

The Boat - Moorea to Tahiti, French Polynesia
Beautiful boat ride... Moorea to Tahiti, 40 mins crossing. More scenic than the 10 min flight with Air Tahiti...

Located on the west side of the island, facing a blue lagoon that boasts unforgettable sunsets, Moorea Beach Lodge is a lovely spot to call home when visiting Tahiti.
TAHITI ????️| DRIVING TOUR to MUSIC | TEAHUPOO beach | AREMITI CAR FERRY back to MOOREA
This video begins with us disembarking off the Aremiti car ferry from MOOREA then showing parts of our coastal loop drive around the entire island of Tahiti, including walking stops for photos (approx 5.5-hours). The island of Tahiti has two parts: the larger, northwestern part of the island is called Tahiti Nui, and the smaller, southeastern part is called Tahiti Iti. We rented a car at AVIS across from the ferry dock on Mo'orea (pronounced mo-oh-RAY-ah), and we boarded the ferry in Mo'orea with our rental car at 6:00am (:30-minute ferry ride arriving approx. 6:30am). Our drive included stops for photos in a few spots, including the beach at Teahupo'o village which has a distant view of the iconic surf wave by the same name. Big wave surfers from across the globe surf at Teahupo'o, located on the Tahiti Iti section of the island. According to an article on surfertoday.com ( Teahupoo is one of the heaviest and most powerful waves in the world
Many in North America pronounce it CHOpoo or CHOPES, but there is not a ch sound in Polynesian. The article designates three components to the name:
te (Tahitian/Polynesian) = the (English)
ahu (Tahitian/Polynesian) = pile, central stone, raised platform, mound, altar, heap (English)
po'o (Tahitian/Polynesian) = head, front end, director, father (English)
Loosely translated as the pile of heads, the heap of heads, or the hot head.
Teahupo'o is on Transworld Surf's list of the 'Top 10 Deadliest Waves'. Check out videos of the wave on YouTube, it's an iconic, legendary wave for the best surfers in the world and the brave at heart ????♂️

Beautiful volcanic island... seen as Air Tahiti lands. Pretty remote part of the world. Just as a side note - an Air Tahiti plane crashed taking off from here 3 years ago, killing everyone on board. Yours truly took the boat out this time...

Motorcycles in Moorea French Polynesia
The main means of transportation in Moorea which is popular are scooter and motorcycles, traveling by bicycle works to! We caught a group of motorcyclists on our way to the Aremeti Ferry to go back to Tahiti. They drive fast and furious at times, though this group took a nice leisurely pace. What better way to see and feel the island of Moorea but on a bike right? 5/27/2012

ATV Fun Tours - Quad or buggy tour Moorea
Location
ATV Fun Tours are located on the east side of Cook's Bay, right across from the entrance of the Bali Hai Hotel, on the island of Moorea.
The concept
A three and a half hour quad (ATV) or buggy (SSV) ride through the valleys of Moorea, along dirt tracks, across river beds, up steep mountains, through pineapple plantations, up to breathtaking viewpoints.
The Tours
There are two tours a day. The first one leaves at 9 am and returns at 12:30 pm. The second one leaves at 1:30 pm and returns at 5 pm.
The tour begins with a quick driving lesson to make sure you can handle your quad or buggy. It's easy and fun.
The excursion starts along a dirt track that takes you to the Bounty plateau, where the view is wonderful. You will then cross the pineapple plantations that are the pride of Moorea. Several rivers have to be crossed in order to get to the valley of Opunohu, the lush heart of the island. From there, it's a steep climb up to the Belvedere, from which you cast your glance over the interior of the volcano, the majestic Mount Rotui, and the two bays. Quite simply, one of the most spectacular views in the South Pacific.
After a well deserved break at the Horticultural High School, where you will enjoy fresh fruit and drinks, the tour finishes on a high, with a visit to the Magic Mountain, for yet another breathtaking sight that encompasses Moorea's coastline, the lagoon, the reef and the ocean.
The Fleet
ATV Fun Tours own 7 CAN-AM quads (ATV), and 4 buggies (SSV).
The Outlander Max 400 quad (for a driver + passenger) is purpose-built for rough-terrain rides, and has an automatic gearbox.
The buggy (SSV) Commander 800 is a comfortable two-seater with seat belts, protective nets, and an automatic gearbox.
Practical Information
You will be asked to provide a driver's livence (for the pilot), and a credit card number or check for the deposit. The following modes of payment are accepted : Visa or Mastecard, cash (US Dollars, Euros, or Pacific Francs), checks.
The vehicles are for one or two persons. Free pickup from your hotel or guest-house, if requested upon booking.

Situation
ATV Fun Tours est situé sur la côte est de la Baie de Cook, juste en face de l'entrée de l'hôtel Bali Hai, sur l'île de Moorea.
Le concept
Une balade de trois heures et demie en quad (ATV) ou véhicule côte-à-côte (SSV) à travers les vallées de Moorea, le long de pistes sauvages, avec traversée de rivières à gué, passages de cols de montagne, traversée des plantations d'ananas, et arrêts aux plus beaux points de vue. Une demi-journée grisante et exaltante passée à découvrir les beautés cachées de l'île.
Les tours
Il y a deux tours par jour. Le premier démarre à 9h00 et se termine à 12h30. Le second démarre à 13h30 et se termine à 17h.
Le tour commence par une brève leçon de conduite, pour que vous preniez en main votre quad ou SSV. Facile et amusant.
L'excursion commence le long d'une piste qui vous amène au plateau du Bounty, où la vue est merveilleuse. Vous traversez ensuite les plantations d'ananas qui font la fierté de Moorea. Vous devez ensuite traverser à gué plusieurs rivières afin d'atteindre la vallée d'Opunohu, le cœur luxuriant de l'île. De là, la montée est abrupte jusqu'au Belvédère, d'où votre regard embrasse tout l'intérieur du volcan, le majestueux Mont Rotui, et les deux baies. Tout simplement l'une des vues les plus spectaculaires de tout le Pacifique Sud.
Après une pause bien méritée au Lycée Agricole, où vous dégusterez des fruits frais et des boissons, le tour se termine en beauté par une visite de la Montagne Magique, encore un point de vue époustouflant qui englobe la côte de Moorea, le lagon, le récif et l'océan.
La flotte
ATV Fun Tours possède 7 quads CAN-AM (ATV), et 4 véhicules côte-à-côte (SSV).
Le quad Outlander Max 400 (pour un pilote + un passager) est conçu spécialement pour le tout-terrain, et dispose d'une boîte de vitesses automatique.
Le véhicule côte-à-côte (SSV) Commander 800 est un biplace confortable avec ceintures de sécurité, filets de protection et boîte de vitesses automatique.
Informations pratiques
Vous devez fournir un permis de conduire auto (pour le pilote) et un numéro de carte de crédit ou un chèque pour la caution. Les modes de paiement suivants sont acceptés : carte Visa ou Mastecard, espèces (Dollars US, Euros ou Francs Pacifique), chèques.
Les véhicules sont conçus pour une ou deux personnes. Transfert gratuit à partir de votre hôtel ou pension, sur réservation.
