Pick-up at the cruise ship terminal ensures you start on time and avoid the hassle of finding transportation. From there, the tour takes you to Opunohu Bay, known for its tranquil waters and lush scenery, setting the perfect tone for your adventure.

Next, you’ll ascend to the Magic Mountain lookout, one of Moorea’s most celebrated viewpoints. As you look out over the island’s volcanic peaks and surrounding bays, you’ll understand why this spot is a favorite for photographers and nature lovers alike. The guide might even share stories about the volcanic origins that shaped Moorea’s landscape.

Exploring the Belvedere Lookout and Pineapple Fields

The Belvedere Lookout is often considered the tour’s highlight. From this vantage point, you’ll see Cook’s Bay and Opunohu Bay, two of Moorea’s most stunning natural harbors. Reviewers consistently mention how breathtaking the views are, with Andrea from Austria noting that her guide Carl “explained everything so well” and that they were “all absolutely thrilled.”

After soaking in the views, the tour ventures into pineapple plantations, where you learn about Moorea’s famous agriculture.

Feeding water eels in a river adds a fun, slightly quirky element that many guests found memorable. It’s not every day you get to hand-feed such unusual creatures, and the guide’s friendly explanations make it accessible and fun for all ages.

Visiting Cultural and Natural Landmarks

A visit to the Tahitian marae — an ancient temple site — offers a glimpse into Moorea’s cultural heritage. While the tour’s focus is primarily on natural beauty, this stop adds depth to your understanding of Polynesian traditions.

The volcano crater is another highlight for those interested in Moorea’s volcanic past. Depending on the guide’s knowledge, you might learn about the island’s geological history, making the scenic drive both beautiful and educational.

The tour also includes a visit to Cook’s Bay, famous for its scenic charm and vibrant boats. Many travelers mention how they appreciated the off-road driving experience which provides a sense of adventure and access to less-visited spots.

Tasting and Local Flavors

No visit to Moorea is complete without sampling local flavors. The tour’s inclusion of liquor, juice tastings, and fresh coconuts makes the experience feel authentic and refreshing. The tropical fruit platter and jam tastings are popular highlights — a delicious way to connect with island produce.

While lunch isn’t included, the tour’s focus on sightseeing and tastings means you’re free to explore nearby cafés afterward or return to the cruise ship for a meal.
