Bahia d' Opunoha, Moorea, French Polynesia

---

Tour Day 17, Cruise Day 17 - Island Drive & Belvedere (3.5 hours) - Tour the island of Moorea by bus. It is 38 miles around, and along the way you will stop at lookout points and special landmarks. From the Belvedere Lookout Point, located up in the mountains between the two main bays of Moorea, you will take in the sweeping views of Cook and Opunohu Bays. Pass some inland pineapple fields and stop at a marae -- an ancient, sacred site -- to learn about Polynesian culture. Heading down the east coast, you will come to the Ia Ora viewpoint, showcasing the clear blue lagoon of Temae Beach nearby and the island of Tahiti, only 10 nautical miles away. Notes: The guide will comment on daily life on Moorea but will not offer a lot of historical or cultural narrative.
