Moorea can be easily visited from Tahiti, either by boat or by plane. Because of the short distance that separates Tahiti and Moorea, it often carries the nickname of Sister island (of Tahiti). Moorea is covered by trees, carefully maintained gardens, beautiful fares with pandanus roofs, cool rivers and waterfalls. Many beautiful white sand beaches can be found around Temae and Haapiti – the northern coast between Papetoai and Haapiti gathers the most tourists with many hotels and two gorgeous motus facing Hauru’s point.
