Moorea is een Frans Polynesisch eiland, behorende tot de Genootschapseilanden in de Stille Oceaan. Het ligt slechts 17 km ten westen van Tahiti. Het is een echte huwelijksreisbestemming, maar als bezoeker moet je er wel rekening mee houden dat het er erg duur is. De naam Moorea betekent "gele hagedis".
Moʻorea is a high island in French Polynesia, part of the Society Islands, 17 km northwest of Tahiti.
Because of its stunning scenery and accessibility to Pape'ete, Moʻorea is visited by many western tourists who travel to French Polynesia. Especially popular as a honeymoon destination, Moʻorea 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.
