MOOREA – French Polynesia
Video and photos in Full HD I have made during my honeymoon trip to the tropical paradise Island of Moorea (Mo’orea) in the French Polynesia (Society Islands) in 2017, including video footages and photos taken with my drone Dji Mavic Pro. The video includes the following highlights: Morea volcanic Island (Aimeho) and its lagoon, aerial views of the Sofitel Moorea Ia Ora Beach Resort, overwater bungalow, Pao Pao Bay, pineapple plantation, view from thr Belvedere Lookout, Council Platform (Marae Fare Toa), underwater videos and coral reef, and the traditional Polynesian dance.
As always thank you for watching and for your great comments!

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.

The Three Coconuts Hike on Moorea
In May 2005 Stacy and I journeyed on a well kept trail from the Belvedere vista point on Moorea to the Three Coconuts, a three mile trail to the top of the pass south of Cook's bay. Two of the coconut trees on the pass are no more, having fallen years ago. It took about six hours up and back to Belvedere, but it was well worth the effort. The trail head is on your right when facing the Moorea shaped Belvedere sign. On top of the hill it's very windy, and you have a wonderful view of Afareaitu, and both sides of the island. Magnificent!, as Muk would say.
