7 Days In Moorea Itinerary

Day 6: Waterfalls & Snorkeling

On this day, choose from a morning half-day activity of either hiking to a waterfall or snorkeling. You can also make this a full day since both attractions are nearby. 

Hike to Afareaitu Waterfall

Drive to Afareaitu, Moorea’s administrative center, and head inland for a 30-minute easy hike along a river to Afareaitu Waterfall. En route, you’ll pass under endless fruit trees and the famous mape – the Tahitian Chestnut tree with its incredible roots. Don’t forget your swimming gear, as the waterfall’s natural pool is so refreshing after the sweaty hike. It’s a great spot for a picnic or just a snack, and you might have this magical place all to yourself!

Snorkel at Motu Ahi Coral Garden

Formerly known as the Moorea Lagoonarium, the Motu Ahi Coral Garden is a privately owned snorkeling site. It’s located on a small motu (islet) close to the ferry. The coral around the motu is among the best in Moorea.

Sunset Near the Tiki Village

Since you’ve had quite an active day, use the rest of it to relax, stock up on some fresh tropical fruit from the local stalls along the road, and get ready to watch some stars at night! If you want to see the most beautiful sunset in Moorea, head to the small beach behind the Tiki Village and experience the amazing spectacle.

Day 7: Local Delights & Relaxation

It’s your last day in Moorea, so we’ll keep it relatively free, allowing you to revisit the places you fell in love with and take it easy.

Rotui-Manutea Factory Store

Head to the Moorea Juice Factory to see where all that amazing juice you’ve been drinking throughout the week comes from. In 1982, a bunch of pineapple growers joined forces to turn the Queen Tahiti pineapples that grow here in abundance into juice. Over the years, the Rotui brand has expanded to a variety of tropical flavors, even adding the Manutea label recently which produces delicious jams and exotic liqueurs. Like every great factory tour, this one ends with a tasting. Be prepared to drink shot after shot of juice and exotic liqueur! Make sure there’s some room left in your suitcase because you’ll want to buy everything they sell here.

The factory is located in Cook’s Bay so from here, it’s easy to visit some of the places you didn’t get a chance to see or just hit the beach for one final taste of paradise!

What Now?

I am confident this 7 days in Moorea itinerary will really maximize your time on the island. The most important thing to remember is not to do too much. The island is really as close as it gets to paradise so be sure to spend time just enjoying this moment! For more information about Moorea and French Polynesia, check out these recommended guides.
