Close neighbor of Tahiti, the island of Moorea in French Polynesia is a place with a small population. In the mountains, you can find palm-thatched huts, and Polynesian outrigger canoes on the coast. The road winds lazily here around the whole island and there is always a sailboat anchored in a quiet, calm bay. For many tourist, Moorea can be a dream destination, or even a tropical paradise. For travelers, the island of Morea is much more interesting than Bora Bora.
" Toward night we opened the NW point and discovered the island named by Dolphin's people, York and called by the natives Eimayo."
Sydney Parkinson about the island of Moorea, 1769
