There are several scattered around the island. None are very big. All require some hiking. Some you are supposed to pay a few dollars to see although there may or may not be anybody around to accept payment. Jus De Fruits De Moorea. The pineapple juice factory and distillery. Free tours of the factory floor have been discontinued, but the gift shop remains open along with the free sample of various liqueurs. Do in Moorea Island, Tahiti, French Polynesia ====================================== 4x4 off-road tour. These are guided tours of Moorea's amazing interior. Trips will vary based on the tour company you choose. Most trips are about 4-hours in length and will travel to four distinct locations. Some of the locations visited are listed in the previous section. This is an easy method for visiting multiple locations in a short period of time. $50/person. Beach (Swim, Snorkel, Picnic). The best, large public beach seems to be Temae which is just next to the private Sofitel beach. The entrance is located between the airport and the Sofitel. You will drive down a long dirt road and then see cars parked next to the grass. If you keep driving you will see there are outdoor showers and public toilets toward the end of the beach. There are a few trees for shade, but if you might consider bringing an umbrella to plant near your beach towels. A beautiful, quiet place to hang out for hours and seems to be mostly empty during the week. Diving. There are a number of dive operators on the island (Top Dive, Moorea Fun Dive, etc). The biggest attraction is lemon sharks. Turtles are often seen as well. Dive and snorkeling operators feed the wildlife so it's not uncommon to have half a dozen (or more) black tip sharks following the group around. Hard coral is fairly healthy but not very colorful and not much variety making underwater scenery rather boring. No wrecks around Moorea. Hiking and Mountain Biking. There is an extensive trail network on Moorea and modern signposts and markers have been installed in 2016 making Moorea the first of Tahitian islands where proper hiking can be done without a guide. There is a good map of both cycling and hiking trails on the road to Belvedere Lookout - look for the blue info post on the right side of the road and the sign with the map on the left side. Bring bug spray and lots of water - it's hot, humid and buggy. It also tends to be muddy. An plastic bag will do wonders keeping your electronics dry if it starts raining on you. Horseback riding. This is a great way to see the beautiful interior of the island. Your guide will pick fresh fruits from trees and pineapples from the ground for you to eat when you reach the high lookout point. Wear jeans and good shoes. $55.00 per person. Jet Ski Tours. There are a couple tour operators that depart from the different hotels. You do not have to be staying at the hotel in order to access the jet ski tour. Just ask reception or head to the dock if you know where it is. This is an easy way to be on the water, stay cool (via wind and water), see the island and have some personal freedom. There do not seem to be any operators who just rent jet skis without the tour guide, probably because knowledge of the coral and other obstacles (coconuts, kelp, debris) is imperative. It is not cheap, but you can get a jet ski for two or three people and pay per jet ski. Tours are 2.5 or 3 hours long. It may be cheaper to book directly with the tour operator rather than with the hotel activities center. Moorea Paddle Board, All levels paddle boards with snorkeling gear available.Tours can be done by kayak. Free pick-up from hotel. Moorea Store (Shopping), B.P. I380/98729 Papetoai/Moorea. The Moorea Store offers many things from souvenirs, to lotions to Black Pearls. Xavier and his Partner own the store and are very friendly and helpful. Xavier had the best prices for black pearls than anywhere we visited in Tahiti, Moorea and Bora Bora. He was very grateful for our business and gave us many items as gifts, even a beautiful black pearl to be made as a ring. This store is located across the road and to the right of the Intercontinental Resort and Spa. Tuatini Activities is also operated by Xavier and his wife Taina, they provide Sunset cruises, Private tours, Motu transfers with Picnic, Motu rental, fare rental, wedding and Glass Bottom Boat.
