Moorea, soating magically out of the ocean in an explosion of green velvet, is what you would imagine a South Seas island to be. A wide, shallow lagiin surrounds the island's vertical mountains, peaceful meadows and cool waterfalls. Steep fields of pineapples and vanilla will fill your senses and renew your belief in the majesty of nature. Pastel-painted houses surrounded by gardens of hyacinth and birds of paradise, circle the island in a fantasy of happy, yet simple, architecture.

All who have traveled here agree: the beauty of Moorea is unforgettable.
