| At Te Ora Hau, you will discover a certain art
of living. Heipua,
Moea et Marae, all three Polynesian,
will introduce you to the garden's fragrances, the art of tieing a
pareo, of weaving a flower lei or will simply tell you all about Moorea. |
| You can discover our island following your own
taste or intuition, on your own or with the help of a tour guide,
alone or in a group. |
- Kayaks
are at your disposal for a ride on the lagoon, around the islet,
and perhaps to encounter dolphins in the pass and dive near the
reef for a close look at the fishes swimming swiftly between the
coral heads.
(Plan to spend 2 hours, preferably in the morning)
|
 |
|
|
- You can go on foot
to the Atiraa Valley, behind Te Ora Hau, with
or without a tour guide, following the trail across the small flowery
village, along the river protected by ferns and discover the waterfall
and enjoy a dip in the fresh water.
(Plan on spending 2h) |
 |
- For a tour of the island
you have a choice: by car, scooter or on a bicycle at your own pace.
Take your time to discover Moorea and enjoy its beauty in all its
diversity. (Plan on spending all day) |
| - If you are considering getting a
tattoo that you wish to select and have done by a
serious and professional tattoo artist, you will find one several kilometers from
Te Ora Hau in his fare by the sea. (Expect a minimum of 2 sessions
of 1 to 2 hours each. Make arrangements in advance as the artist is
often in great demand) |
- Between July and October, join a
tour of the island in a canoe to go whale watching,
with some luck you'll hear the males sing and understand their migration
from the far south to our warmer waters. Departure 30 minutes from
Te Ora Hau. The canoe excursion easily exceeds the morning. |
- You will need an experinced guide
to hike to Mou’a Puta (the pierced mountain) rising behind
Te Ora Hau (leaving early in the morning to be back in the afternoon)
or a visit to the archeological sites in the Moorea caldera. (Expect
to spend all morning) |
