OPUNOHU valley - French Polynesia, Moorea, Pacific ocean, Tahiti,
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.

Because of its stunning scenery and accessibility to Papeete, Moorea is visited by many western tourists who travel to French Polynesia.
From above, the shape of the island vaguely resembles a heart, with its two nearly symmetrical bays opening to the north side of the island: Cook's (or Paopao) Bay and Opunohu Bay. 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.

Raiatea, French Polynesia, Pacific ocean,
Raiatea, is the second largest of the Society Islands, after Tahiti, in French Polynesia. The island is widely regarded as the 'centre' of the eastern islands in ancient Polynesia and it is likely that the organised migrations to Hawaii, New Zealand and other parts of East Polynesia started at Ra'iatea. A traditional name for the island is believed to be Havai'i.
Situated on the south east coast is the historical Taputapuatea marae which was established by 1000AD.
Raiatea vormt samen met het eiland Tahaa een atol gelegen in de Stille Oceaan. Het eiland behoort samen met acht andere eilanden tot de Benedenwindse Eilanden van Frans-Polynesië. Het eiland bestaat uit een uitgedoofde vulkaan en een door een rif omgeven lagune. In het jaar 2002 telde het eiland 11.133 inwoners. De belangrijkste plaats is Uturoa.

The Moorea Visitors Bureau welcomes you to the island of Moorea, the second touristic destination in French Polynesia after the island of Tahiti. The Moorea Visitors Bureau website offers our visitors the best resource for Moorea information. Moorea is actually spelled Mo'orea, and is located in the Islands of Society in French Polynesia. Moorea is one of the world's most exotic islands and has many things to do and see.
Moorea, which has often been likened to James Michener's mythological island of Bali Ha'i, is a small island jewel of the vast ocean that can be perceived in one loving glance.
Rising like a shark's jaw from the sea, Moorea's jagged profile beckons. To her sister island of Tahiti, Moorea presents a fresh young face in the pink glow of dawn. In late afternoon she becomes even more enticing and inviting, crowned with a majestic headdress of fleecy cumulus clouds of snowy white, upon which the infinite colors of the sunset play.
Heed the call. Reach out and touch Moorea. You will soon discover that Moorea has also touched you, filling you with peace, delight and a wonderful sense of happiness.
Walk barefoot on a clean, quiet beach. Bask in the warm caress of the sun. Swim in crystalline lagoons. Watch a sunset that dips the world in bronze. Wrap your body in a colorful pareo. Put a fragrant blossom behind your ear. Learn to dance the tamure. Sleep in a palm-thatched hut. And waken to the wonder of dawn in the tropics.
