Moorea

Moorea is a volcanic island in French Polynesia. It is also spelled Moorea. It is one of the Windward Islands, which are part of the Society Islands and are located 17 kilometers northwest of Tahiti. 'Aimeho', also spelled 'Aimeo' or 'Eimeo', is an older name for the island. Moorea was also known as York Island or Santo Domingo by early Western colonists and voyagers.

Honeymooners who want to see a less-known side of French Polynesia should consider Moorea. This smaller island offers the same stunning natural wonders and romantic accommodations as Bora Bora, but with a more relaxed atmosphere and lower prices. Furthermore, Moorea is only 10 miles from Tahiti, making it easily accessible from French Polynesia's main international airport. When visitors arrive on the island, they will find eight towering mountains and two beautiful bays, as well as several notable attractions such as a lagoonarium, the Moorea Dolphin Center, and Temae Beach.
