3 playlists to feel the authenticity of Polynesia

Mo’orea Island

Let me introduce you to Tahiti’s sister island, Mo’orea, which also owes its name to the legend of the yellow lizard (mo’o = lizard and rea = yellow). Mo’orea is there, so close and even visible to Tahiti (just 30 minutes by ferry) and yet so far from the hustle and bustle of the city.

This small, heart-shaped piece of land, 65 kilometers in circumference, has all the makings of a charmer.
My advice? Drive around the island at local speed (40 to 50 km/h) in order to
rhythm. Then climb up to the Belvedere for a breathtaking view of its two huge, deep bays, Opunohu and Cook.
Where do you think Captain Cook anchored his ship in 1777 on his 3rd Pacific voyage? (Careful, there’s a catch!)
Opunohu Bay, not Cook’s Bay! From there, from the Belvedere,
hike to the Col des Trois Cocotiers, descend into the pineapple fields and step back in time to discover the marae, ancient Maohi places of worship. Finally, swim, explore the lagoon and stroke the stingrays! Beware: you’ll never leave Mo’orea unscathed!

Tips

When should you get a tattoo?

Choosing the right time to get started
The word tattoo comes from the Tahitian word tatau, which means to strike. It is a sacred legacy that tells each person’s story on their skin.
Expert tip: never plan to get a tattoo at the beginning of your stay! The sun and ocean salt are the enemies of healthy healing. Schedule your session 2 or 3 days before your departure so you can fully enjoy the lagoons of Moorea or Bora Bora without restriction before bringing home this indelible souvenir.

The language of flowers

A Tiare flower to show your status
The Tiare Tahiti flower is much more than just a national flower. Worn in your ear, it indicates your relationship status. Placed in your right ear, you are signaling that you are single. In your left ear, you are indicating that you are already taken. It is a poetic and traditional way of communicating without saying a word. A charming local custom to adopt as soon as you arrive on the tarmac at Faa’a.
