Explore the volcanic crater from which Moorea was created during this scenic, off-road island safari via off-road vehicle.

Depart the pier in an off-road vehicle for the journey inside the volcanic crater from which Moorea was created. En route, you will discover the heart of a huge pineapple plantation inside the island's deepest valley of the island. Moorea, Polynesia's Green Garden, is renowned for its Agricultural School, which receives children from all the outer islands. A stop will be made here to sample some homemade jam. Ice cream and local fruit juices will also be available for purchase. Your guide will then drive you across a large plantation filled with vanilla, bananas, grapefruits and oranges, and acquaint you with the island's diverse flora and fauna.

Next, you will continue to an open-air temple, or marae. After a stop to learn about the Polynesian culture, you will ascend to the top of the mountain for spectacular vistas over Cook's and Opunohu Bays. You will then descend that mountain, and proceed for a visit to Magic Mountain. Here, a little path surrounded by grapefruit, lemon and orange trees opens up to a panoramic view stretching across Opunohu Bay, the lagoon and the sea. Your tour will conclude with a stop at the Fruit Juice Factory and Distillery of Moorea to sample their liquors.

Following your visit, you will re-board the off-road vehicle for the return drive to the pier.
