Moorea-Maiao travel guide

French Polynesia · Top sights · trending spots

Moorea is thirty minutes by ferry from Tahiti and shaped like a heart, with two deep bays cut into its north coast and a ridge between them.

The Belvedere lookout takes in both at once, above pineapple fields that 4WDs grind up to. Humpbacks calve in the lagoon between July and November and can be swum with under guide. It costs about half what Bora Bora does.

Top 5 sights in Moorea-Maiao

Ranked by Wikipedia language editions — proven fame.

  1. 1

    Mont Orohena

    The highest point in French Polynesia at 2,241 metres, an extinct shield volcano in the interior of Tahiti. There is no marked route to the summit and it is climbed only with a guide, usually over two days from the Papenoo valley.

  2. 2

    Stade Pater Te Hono Nui

    The main stadium of Tahiti, at Pirae outside Papeete, holding about eleven thousand seven hundred. It hosted the South Pacific Games and is where the national football team plays its home fixtures.

  3. 3

    Papeete Cathedral

    The Catholic cathedral of Papeete, built in the late nineteenth century a short walk from the waterfront. It is the mother church of an archdiocese covering the whole of French Polynesia.

  4. 4

    Mount Tohivea

    The highest point on Moorea at 1,207 metres, the eroded rim of a shield volcano that stopped erupting long ago. With Mouaroa and Mouaputa it makes the ridge seen from the Belvedere between the two bays.

    TiqetsKlook
  5. 5

    Stade Hamuta

    A stadium at Papeete holding around ten thousand, home to AS Manu-Ura and used for the Tahitian league. Football is the island's main spectator sport, ahead of the outrigger canoe racing that everyone actually does.
