SwissTravelChannel is a YouTube channel of my holiday’s trips videos, taken all around the world since 2008. Some are for pure tourism and others are more of an adventure. The videos usually show the top best tourist attractions, the top things to do and top places to see. The goal is to inspire others on their next vacations. The videos can also be seen as a guide to have an idea of the main highlights and places to explore. I love to take pictures of the nature, traditions and different cultures, to search the must-see spots and show the essentials in my videos, for this reason I always try to create the perfect vacation. Traveling is more than a hobby for me, is a way of life.

MOOREA (source Wikipedia):

Moorea (Mo'orea) is a high island in French Polynesia, one of the Windward Islands, part of the Society Islands, 17 kilometres (11 mi) northwest of Tahiti. The true spelling of Moorea is Mo'ore'a, meaning yellow lizard in Tahitian: Mo'o = lizard ; Re'a (from re'are'a) = yellow. An older name for the island is 'Aimeho, sometimes spelled 'Aimeo or 'Eimeo (among other spellings given by early visitors before Tahitian spelling was standardized). Early Western colonists and voyagers also referred to Mo'orea as York Island.

Several ferries go to the Vai'are wharf in Mo'orea daily from Pape'ete, the Tahitian capital. The Vai'are wharf is in the Vai'are bay. There are 3 ferries. One of them is the 'Aremiti 5. The largest one is the 'Aremiti Ferry and the other one is the Terevau ferry. The ferries have to pass through Mo'orea's coral pass, then toward Pape'ete across the ocean and into the Tahiti Lagoon. The Vai'are bay is in the east part of Mo'orea. Mo'orea's Tema'e Airport (IATA: MOZ) has connections to the international airport in Pape'ete and onward to other Society Islands such as Bora Bora.

The island was formed as a volcano 1.5 to 2.5 million years ago, the result of a geologic hotspot in the mantle under the oceanic plate that formed the whole of the Society Archipelago. It is theorized that the current bays were formerly river basins that filled during the Holocene searise.

Mo'orea is about 10 miles in width from the west to the east. There are two small, nearly symmetrical bays on the north shore. The one to the west is called 'Ōpūnohu Bay, which is not very populated but many travelers have come into the bay. The main surrounding communes of the bay are Piha'ena in the east and Papetō'ai to the west. The one to the east is Cook's Bay, also called Pao Pao Bay since the largest commune of Mo'orea is at the bottom of the bay. The other communes are Piha'ena to the west and busy Maharepa to the east. The highest point is Mount Tohi'e'a, near the center of Mo'orea. It dominates the vista from the two bays and can be seen from Tahiti. There are also hiking trails in the mountains. The Vai'are Bay is another small inlet, smaller than the two main bays, on the east shore. This bay has been settled a lot and has a lot of business. The main village is located just south of the bay.

Because of its stunning scenery and accessibility to Pape'ete, Mo'orea is visited by many western tourists who travel to French Polynesia. Especially popular as a honeymoon destination, Mo'orea can often be seen in advertisements in American wedding magazines. Arthur Frommer declared in Frommer's travel guide that he considered it the most beautiful island in the world.

DRIVING TOUR of MOOREA | Part 2

This is Part 2 of our driving tour of Mo'orea. In the video DRIVING TOUR | Mo'orea Part 1 I posted previously, you'll see that the day began as overcast with light rain; however, the sun came out and the weather was perfect the rest of the day as shown in this video. This was typical of the weather we had for the week we stayed in Mo'orea.

Driving information:

The island is approx. 37 miles (60km) and marked every kilometer with a PK post. We rented a car through AVIS. AVIS picked us up from our hotel at Sofitel Ia Ora Beach Resort in the morning and drove us to their office across from the ferry dock to fill out rental paperwork and pick-up our car.

The ferry dock and AVIS office are only 5-minutes away from the Sofitel. The drive around the entire island took us 4.5 hours, which included several stops for photos. It was a cloudy, overcast day all-day, so although the island is still very beautiful, a sunny day in Mo'orea shows the vibrant colors and scenery of the island in a totally different light. See my other videos for Mo'orea in beautiful weather on a clear day.

The roads in Mo'orea are easy and driveable. There were only a couple of muddy roads that we ventured onto for a side-tour, but the main roads are well maintained.

Driving was easy and stress-free, and driving is on the right side of the road as in North America.

Important note, we reserved an economy rental car days before we arrived on the island, and the car they provided for us when we arrived was a stick shift (manual transmission). My husband knows how to drive a stick so there was no issue, but if you require an automatic transmission rental be sure to specify this when you reserve your car. We only used the car 1 day on Mo'orea, and the 2nd day we used it to take the car ferry to Tahiti (30-minutes away). The drive around Tahiti took us about 5.5 hours with stops on a rainy day. I'll post a video on our Tahiti driving tour later this month.
