Itinerary
Day 1 Fly USA to Papeete
Please note international air from the USA has not been included in the package price.
Once you clear customs and immigration, look for your name on the board. Your Tekura Tahiti representative will assist you to the vehicle for your transfer to your overnight hotel.
Papeete, the capital and commercial hub of French Polynesia, hosts the government offices, hospitals, banks, airline and travel agencies, boutiques and black pearl shops. The Central Market (Marché Central) is a must, located 1 block behind the waterfront. You will see traditional Tahitian crafts, flowers, fruits, fish and other produce. The waterfront is attractive, with a tree lined promenade along a marina with an international yachting community.
Day 2 Fly Papeete to Moorea
Please wait in the hotel lobby area for your transfer to Papeete airport for your flight to Moorea. Upon arrival you will be transferred to your accommodation.
Less than 10 minutes away from Tahiti by air or less than one hour by ferry are the deep, spectacular bays and white sand beaches of Moorea. The craggy volcanic peaks, reflected in the tranquil waters of Cook's Bay and Oponohu Bay, rise like a shark's jaw from the island's basaltic base. The lush mountain slopes are covered with rain forest or pineapple plantations, and white sand beaches border crystalline lagoons.
Only 40 miles around on a well paved road along the shore, this dramatic and lush island can easily be circled by car, scooter or on bicycle for the more physically inclined. You can also enjoy horseback riding along the beach or the interior, hikes to hidden waterfalls or visit the Belvedere's very spectacular scenic view point. For a traditional Tahitian Show, go to the Tiki Village where you will enjoy a memorable lagoon-side dinner and show.
There is no town to speak-of on Moorea, but you will find a few areas along the road with clusters of shops selling miscellaneous goods, local crafts and colorful hand printed fabrics (pareos). A few black pearl shops can be found on the island, but we recommend Island Fashion Black Pearls near Cook's Bay. It is run by Ron Hall, a friendly American expatriates who knows his stuff and offers a good selection of quality pearls at very competitive prices.
Day 3 Tour – Moorea half day circle island tour with Belvedere
Moorea, which means 'Yellow Lizard' in Tahitian, is a triangular island and the northern side is punctuated by two large bays – Cooks and Opunohu. Stop at a Pineapple plantation to learn about this famous and most important resource on Moorea. Continue to the Belvedere lookout area for spectacular views. En route, stop at a 'Marae' (ancient open air temple) to learn about the ancestral customs. Arrive at the Belvedere and experience the panoramic views overlooking the Cook and Oponohu Bays and over the Rotui Mountain. Also enjoy a visit to the Agricultural School and discover the variety of local fruits, trees and flowers.
Days 4-6 At leisure, Moorea
If you're in the mood for adventure, choose from a number of activities including sailing, scuba diving, snorkeling, jetskiing, waterskiing and windsurfing. If you want to get wet and experience the Polynesian waters right away, try a water sport. You will discover that Moorea is a South Sea Island playground worthy of your attention! Or simply indulge in some serious relaxation.
