We ported in Moorea the next day. Again the interior was lush tropical forest and the perimeter was beautiful beaches and blue water and we decided to take a land trip.
We took a four wheel drive vehicle and did some good climbing on some not so good roads, stopping to visit a pineapple field.
At the overlook point (not the top of the mountain) was a spectacular picture of the bay where the ship was moored.
On the way down the mountain we stopped at a vanilla bean garden. It takes about a year to get a mature vanilla bean, and they are grown in a mesh enclosed area to soften the rainfall and keep the bugs out.
Most of the people we talked to thought Moorea was a lot cleaner and more tropical than Bora Bora.
