Moorea French Polynesia

The sail from Tahiti to Moorea may only be about 10 miles but the islands are totally different.  When someone mentions Tahiti, what comes to mind are clear skies, picturesque beaches, and clear blue waters teaming with life.  We did not find that Tahiti met any of these expectations but Moorea far exceeded our expectations.  The mountains and shore lines were stunning, and the surrounding waters were perfectly clear - a deep blue color with a white, shallow bottom.  Of all the islands we visited Moorea was definitely the most beautiful.  While on the island we took a half-day excursion on a sailing catamaran in the waters around the island.  The sail included a stop along the reef to snorkel, which was an unforgettable experience. 





The water is so blue and clear…




First experience snorkeling …. definitely will not be the last!




Just before we anchored to snorkel this guy came to visit.



These are hotel rooms which can be rented for around $2000 per night.  Bet it is a pretty awesome experience.



Not too bad of a place to park the ship…The view was pretty nice when we woke in the morning!




Just unbelievable… this lady played solitaire on her I-pad the whole time we were on the sailing catamaran sailing in some of the most beautiful waters on the planet……
