After a 2020 COVID postponement of our 20th anniversary celebration, a year later we finally made it to Moorea, French Polynesia to the Hilton Moorea Lagoon Resort & Spa Resort. We went all out with the "King Overwater Bungalow with Panoramic View". The 3 to 4 hour ATV Tours are Ok, worth doing once. Moorea Moana Tours has a 5 star rating on Trip Advisor and who we used for the Swimming with Whales Tour. These guys were amazing! NOTE: The is no guarantee you'll get up close and personal with whales on this tour. As a matter of fact, you always see whales from your boat, but swimming within yards of these amazing animals only happens 50% of the time. Nature doesn't always cooperate. Keep this in mind if you consider going on this tour. There are only 2 large tour companies on Moorea. Both are safe and follow all Marine Mammal Laws. There are many private tour companies, use at your own risk. If your in the market for Tahitian Black Pearls, Pearl Romance and Coco Blanc on Moorea are a couple of the best shops for high quality. We bought a lot of pendants and bracelets from both locations. If your on a Budget, go to the Papeete Market for inexpensive Black Pearl jewelry. They are Black Pearls, but the quality isn't very good. Keep in mind that the Papeete Market opens at 7am and closes at 3pm. It's close to the Harbor. The island is only 42 miles around. We rented a car and drove it three times. There isn't very many pull outs to explore, but public beaches & pull outs are beautiful and worth exploring. Try to visit places like Belvedere Lookout during the week. Many of these places are crazy busy on the weekends because families from Tahiti take the ferry over to enjoy Moorea. I was surprised to find out, there are very few biting bugs on Moorea. The Chickens/Roosters are everywhere on the island and eat any bug they come across. Have a great time! Best Regards, Craig

Beautiful video! This made me miss Mo'orea so much. Do you remember roughly how much the flower crown was, shown at the 10 minute mark? And whereabout the island this was? I plan on going again and would love to buy one for my wife.

Wonderful footage & editing! My husband & I are headed to the same resort in September this year. Some of your tips we didn't know actually, so thank you! Looks like you two had a great time!

[@dronedrifter2525]

I'm sure you've already booked, but week days are normally pretty quiet. Since Moorea is so close to Tahiti, many locals simply take the ferry over with their families on the weekends. It's very busy on the weekends. In addition, Belvedere Lookout should be visited during the week as well, lots of locals go up on the weekend and the parking lot is tiny. Black Pearls; if your on a tight budget, go to the open air market in Tahiti. The quality isn't great, but if you want a true Black Pearl from French Polynesia, you can find em cheap there. They open at 8am and close by 3pm. If you can afford a quality pearls, Pearl Romance & Coco Blanc are a couple of the best. We bought from both. Have a great time!

@@dronedrifter2525 Those are great tips, thank you! We are arriving to Tahiti on a Saturday night and ferrying over to Mo'Orea Sunday to give us some time on Tahiti but we'll be in Mo'Orea for about 11 days so we will make sure to utilize those day tips you shared!

[@rutgerdenhertog5846]

Going there in a month! 😍 Where exactly did you buy that beautiful flower crown?

[@dronedrifter2525]

Most resorts offer them, but the road side vendors have the best ones. We paid $20 USD
