| The Beautiful Island of Moorea in Tahiti |
Moorea, calledl the Jewel of the South Pacific by many, is one of more unique of the
Tahitian Island because it combines a number of elements lacking on the other
destinations in French Polynesia. It has high mountains, rain forest, clear water lagoons
protected by a ring of coral off-shore, good surfing, snorkeling, scuba diving and some
of the best hotels in the islands. Another plus is that Moorea has a number of affordable
restaurants, thus allowing one to save a bit of money in an expensive part of the world.
This relaxing and yet exhilarating wonderland assaults the senses with an explosion of
sights, smells and sounds at every turn. The view from Mt. Belvedere is one of the
sweetest in the world, while the cascade of views from under the crystal clear seas never
fail to delight and amaze. Fish of every description and many hard to describe populate
the coral reefs which circle one of the crown jewels on God's Green Earth.

Dr. Michael Poole holds fascinating Dolphin and Whale
Watching Tours to further his work on wild dolphins and
Whales in Moorea and throughout French Polynesia. He has
been in Tahiti for 20 years and has made great strides
studying and bringing awareness about these fascinating
mammals.
Dr. Poole's most significant success came after ten years of
effort when, in May 2002, French Polynesia's government
finally accepted Michael's proposition and his draft legislation
to create a whale and dolphin sanctuary within all of the
territory's Exclusive Economic Zone, an area half the size of
the continental US.
It is one of the largest sanctuaries in the world. The Cook
Islands, Samoa, Papua New Guinea, and New Caledonia
have likewise declared sanctuaries in their respective EEZs.
This tour is fun and educational, and the money raised goes
into Dr. Poole's research fund.

From the opposite end of the previous view, here is a look at
Opunohu Bay from the ocean side. All the bays and valleys
on Moorea have reef breaks created by fresh water cascading
over in over the centuries and killing the coral reef in those
spots. Because Moorea has a ring of reefs way off the
coast, the surfers have to get the break on small boats.

Tourists enjoy this view of Mt. Rotui, Opunohu Valley and
Opunohu Bay on Moorea is absolutely breathtaking. From
this viewpoint there is a trail through the rain forest to an
even better. It is a bit of a sweaty walk, but well worth it to
see the interesting vegetation and various creatures lurking
about. Don't miss the view from Mount Belvedere on
Moorea in the Tahitian Islands.
