Destination Guides > French Polynesia > Moorea
MooreaMoorea was the inspiration for James Michener's mythical island of Bali Hai, and the locale for many motion pictures, including Mutiny on the Bounty and Love Affair. It is just 18 kilometres across the Sea of the Moon from Tahiti, but a world away. To fully appreciate the drama of this heart-shaped island, it is best viewed from atop Belvedere lookout, which affords breathtaking views of Moorea's twin bays, Cooks and Opunohu. For those limited on time, it's easy to take a 25-minute catamaran ride from Tahiti for a day-trip. Coming & GoingThere are frequent flights between Tahiti and Moorea although the ten minute flight is pointless when affordable ferries make the same trip in as little as 25 minutes. There are four ferries plying the 'Sea of the Moon' running at frequent intervals between 6am and 4.30pm. AccommodationChez Nelson & JosianePK 27 - between Cook's Bay and Hauru PointTel 561518
