Planning a trip to Moorea, French Polynesia? This Moorea travel guide shares real island-hopping tips from Tahiti to Moorea, ferry advice, whale watching, 4x4 tours, Hotel Kaveka, and travel tips we’re glad we knew.
When people say they “went to Tahiti,” what they usually mean is French Polynesia—and Moorea quickly became our favorite island. In this video, we take you along as we explore Moorea, Tahiti’s calmer and more affordable sister island, and explain why we chose it over Bora Bora.
We’ll share what it was really like spending a day on Tahiti, including driving around Papeete, navigating the ferry system, and visiting the peaceful Tahiti Garden. You’ll learn why we recommend staying on Moorea instead of Tahiti itself if you’re looking for a relaxed island vacation.
This Moorea travel vlog includes:
• Taking the Tahiti–Moorea ferry (and why pre-booking matters)
• Grocery shopping near the ferry to save money
• Staying at Hotel Kaveka (with a separate full review available)
• A 4x4 island tour to Belvedere Lookout, Magic Mountain, and pineapple fields
• The history of Moorea’s famous pineapples
• Visiting Manutea Distillery for pineapple liqueur tasting
• Whale watching in Moorea and what to expect if you don’t swim
• Practical travel tips like Google Translate, bug spray, and mobility-friendly excursions
If you’re planning a trip to French Polynesia and wondering whether Moorea or Bora Bora is right for you, this video offers an honest, practical look at what Moorea does best—stunning scenery, fewer crowds, and a more relaxed pace.
Whether you’re an experienced traveler, planning your first South Pacific vacation, or looking for a beautiful destination without the Bora Bora price tag, Moorea is absolutely worth considering.
