Nestled in the heart of the South Pacific, Moorea emerges from the ocean like a dream, its jagged peaks and emerald embrace telling tales of ancient volcanoes and the unyielding force of nature. But beneath the turquoise waters lies a fragile world, one that is being tirelessly protected and revived by the Coral Gardeners.
Your next visit to Moorea island could be more than just a vacation but also a profound opportunity to contribute to the protection of the reef, one coral at a time.

Preparing your trip to Tahiti…We live in a tropical area, so we suggest wearing light cotton clothes: shorts, cotton slacks or jeans, summer dresses, swimsuit… A jumper or a light wrap is a good idea since temperatures can drop on top of the mountains or at night during the dry season (July-August). You may also want to bring a windbreaker or a raincoat since showers may happen.
