Moorea island is incredible, you're right, we are so lucky to live there and happy to welcome guests from all around the world in our little paradise !

[@RyanShirley]

Moorea truly is the best!

[@camerawowo275]

Thanks for the video. Now I just need some more money. Well I have a plan. I need to overthink it a bit but I promise, with this plan I'll be farming mangoes in Tahiti soon enough.

[@RyanShirley]

Thanks so much João! You perfectly described it

YOU JUST NEED SOME GODDAMN FAITH TO GO THERE

[@aidanlee3552]

one more big score

[@TheWasamen]

As a local, Maupiti and Moorea 100%. I can tell you've definitely done your homework and know what makes each of these islands and archipalegos special and unique. You are right... There are still 100s of other beautiful and unique islands to explore in French Polynesia so come back for more :) Quality content!

[@RyanShirley]

Wow I’m jealous you live in Moorea and Maupiti. Truly is one of the most incredible places on earth. I’d love to explore the lesser known islands. Do you have a favorite island?

[@TheWasamen]

I moved to Utah recently for work but grew up in those islands 😊 I go back once a year to visit my family. Another great island that’s still wild, pretty, untouched and rich in history is Huahine. Just like Maupiti they are against big development projects who commercialize the place so still looks wild and raw. Check out the local blue eyed eels (only found there) you can get up real close to them. Another favorite for its beauty and blue colors is in the Austral islands, called Raivavae. There’s a motu called motu piscine (French for pool) because the colors and shape resemble a turquoise pool. I would say this one is even more untouched than Huahine because it’s further from Tahiti. The internet might be spotty on one side of the island so get ready haha

[@cocoaorange1]

My late mom loved seeing movies that were themed in the South Pacific.

[@RyanShirley]

[@John_Fugazzi]

It's great that you saw so much of French Polynesia. I believe most people see Tahiti and Bora Bora and that's it. The mountains make the island of Tahiti look so spectacular. Did you see much of Papeete? You didn't mention the city, but I would be interested in your opinion of it. I think I've probably flown over the area on my way to New Zealand and Australia but never went there. Was there much of a language barrier or do you speak French? I've been enjoying your visits to these new areas of the world this year.

[@RyanShirley]

Thanks so much John! I was really impressed by Tahiti, I wish I would’ve explored more of it and hiked to its highest point. I drove through Papeete and got McDonald’s a few times. It was a really nice city but I preferred driving along the costal roads outside of it. Less traffic. And most people spoke English which was great. Hope you can visit French polynesia soon 😁🏝️🇵🇫

[@nathanfitzgerald6651]

Moorea is Tahiti's most Anglicized island; everyone is English-fluent there. Because I noticed that's the island that Americans, Aussies and Kiwis always visit, so Moorea is soaked in 3 different English speaking nationalities 24/7/365. The English language has a funny habit of always being more dominant than local languages wherever English goes.

[@Lipuinnovation]

its great

[@TheWrightLifeTravelChannel]

Wow! What a stunning area of the world!

We were there last month, besides the beauty. Which is jaw dropping, the way of life and the people to me make it amazing. We are getting our residency to move there now!

[@RyanShirley]

I completely agree with their way of life, it’s so much more laid back and relaxed in a great way and makes you appreciate life more. What islands did you visit?

[@theprimecollector6584]

We stay in Tahiti at the end of teahupo’o road and on Mo’orea for 5 weeks. Absolutely amazing, we’ve also traveled all over the world and hold 3 citizenships in US, Colombia and Portugal and certainly believe FP to be the healthiest society to raise children and live a happy life close to nature and the sea. Of course our life in US offered us unparalleled convenience and products but after many years living as a consumer, I want to be a producer.

Good choices, 🏝 and some off the beaten track. I remember staying in an olde lady's back room in Maupiti (+20yrs ago when there was very little tourism there) and seeing the beginning of bora bora becoming heavily developed 😢 the scenery is still stunning out there nevertheless, which you have captured brilliantly 👍🌴

I plan to go there a 3rd time one day. 1st was with fam and 2nd was with my gf. So far I've hit up Bora Bora and Mo'orea then Taha'a. Next time we go, it'll be Huahine, Mo'orea (for my gf) and maybe Rangiroa or Fakarava.

[@jimgreen5788]

Ryan, beautiful video. May I point out that Wikipedia agrees with what I suspected is the proper pronunciation of Teahupo'o = tay-ah-poo-HOE-oh? The mar-KEY-sus (Marquesas) are actually the mar-KAY-sahss. Also, since there's no apostrophe in Raiatea, rather than RAH-ee-uh-tay-uh, it's rye-ah-TAY-ah, which can also be said for Maupiti, which is mau-PEA-tea, rather than ma-oo-PEA-tea. I was there during a 4-month loop around the Pacific (Hawaii, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, Philippines, Singapore, Australia, Papua New Guinea, New Zealand, Cook Islands, and French Polynesia, where I either stayed in a pension with a local family, or on a moored platform over the edge of the lagoon. They're all beautiful, but of Tahiti, Bora Bora, Raiatea, Taha'a, Huahine, and Moorea, I'd have to pick both 2 and 6, if picking 2 is legal.😀
