Moorea,
which has often been likened to James Michener's mythical island
of Bali Hai, is only 17 km (11 miles) from Tahiti.
Many
visitors say it is worth the airfare to see Moorea's spectacular
bays.The volcanic peaks, reflected in the tranquil waters of
Cook's Bay and Opunohu Bay, rise like a shark's jaw from
the island's basaltic base.
The
mountain slopes are covered with pineapple plantations, and white
sand beaches border crystalline lagoons. Moorea is ideal for
a day's visit and even better when you visit by air.
After
only a few days, you will discover that Moorea has filled you with
peace, delight and a wonderful sense of happiness.
