Mo'orea
Mo'orea offers a mountain-and-bay landscape, with two north-coast inlets and an inland viewpoint linked by fields. Decide whether to focus on the bays or add the Belvedere rather than treating every viewpoint as interchangeable.

Cook Bay and Opunohu Bay cut into the northern coast beneath the island’s volcanic relief. The approach to the Belvedere introduces pineapple fields, offering a change from shoreline views. Vai’are Bay lies on the eastern side, so the arrival landscape is different again from the paired northern bays and the mountainous center.
What to look for
Cook Bay lies east of Opunohu Bay on the northern coast.
Pineapple fields line the inland approach to the Belvedere.
Mape chestnut forests add another texture to the island’s mountain landscape.
Useful to know
Use Cook Bay and Opunohu Bay as orientation points, then decide whether the inland Belvedere approach fits your plans.
Check the current Papeete–Vai’are ferry timetable before planning a return to Tahiti.
