Meredith & Ben

We can't wait to enjoy exotic cocktails served ice cold in coconut shells. Watching the spectacular South Pacific sunset will put us in that island mood! What a great start to our honeymoon evening!

Aboard a 4WD vehicle, we’ll traverse the deep valleys of Moorea. We’ll begin with a drive to Paopao Valley, passing pineapple plantations and crossing the Paopao Opunohu trail to the territorial property of Opunohu. We'll continue to Papetoai Village to visit the first Christian church in French Polynesia, built in 1822. The expedition concludes at the waterfalls of Afareaitu and the volcanic mountain of Mou'a Puta, where we will have a 360-degree view of the island of Moorea, with Tahiti in the distance.

We will take a boat to a very secluded beach and spend the afternoon alone. How romantic is that?

We will have memories to cherish for years to come. We can view the majesty of our magical breath-taking destination from above, on a first class helicopter tour.

With your thoughtful gift we'll pound the sea, grab some air, ride a wave, get a thrill and have a blast.

Gliding into the crystal clear lagoon, marveling at exquisite ocean creatures and the natural beauty. We'll explore under the blue water, face the impressive sting rays, marvel at the diversity of marine life. Together, we will have the thrill of meeting our dolphins face-to-face, sharing a soft touch, viewing their grace and beauty. And take home a photo for a perfect memory of our honeymoon adventure.

We will circle the island at a leisurely pace on "Le Petit Train" stopping at all the most popular sightseeing spots, with a knowledgeable guide describing the details and history of the ancient maraes, cultural sights, vanilla and pearl farms. A relaxing way to spend a few hours touring the island.

A private transfer to the Motu islet on outrigger canoe for a private, romantic picnic. While our picnic is being prepared, we can swim and snorkel, or just walk on the beach. Champaign is then served with the crystal clear waters of the lagoon lapping at our feet, while we are entertained with various folkloric demonstrations, such as pareu tying and tamure dancing. Our picnic luncheon will be set on a table in the shade of the island trees.

A sunset cruise on the lagoon is definitely a relaxing and enjoyable honeymoon activity in French Polynesia. This is what it's is all about... enjoying the peace and tranquility of the South Pacific from the water... What a great way for us to kick back and see the tropical beauty of the lagoon!

Moorea is famous for its clear and warm water, its sharks and its incredible diversity of sea life. From shallower lagoon dives to deeper reef dives, we will see manta rays, turtles, thousands of tropic fish in the coral gardens, and (hopefully) humpback whales, which are in the area through October.

We will take a honeymoon day trip and journey back in time to discover the traditional Polynesian culture at the Tiki Village, a picturesque village with thatched roof pandanus houses. We'll see pearl farm demonstrations, learn the techniques of painting and of dyeing pareu, go lagoon fishing, meet craft workers and see a demonstration of mat weaving and Tiki carving. Who knows - we may even get a tattoo from one of the three tattoo artists!

Breakfast in bed - a great start to our honeymoon day! We can choose from fresh fruits, freshly baked pastries, breakfast meats, scrambled eggs, French toast, hash browns, juice and coffee. Delivered directly to our over-water terrace by outrigger canoe!

We will choose from one of the many casual restaurants set on the beach. Then kick back and enjoy a local dish, the fun atmosphere, a refreshing cool drink, and great views.

How romantic is this? Dining in an intimate elegant restaurant, with impeccable service, being seated over the water with spectacular views of the south Pacific Islands!

A table will be reserved for us at our favorite restaurant. We can choose from fresh fruits, freshly baked pastries, breakfast meats, scrambled eggs, French toast, hash browns, juice and coffee. Give us the works we need our energy on our getaway.

Visiting this picturesque village, nestled by the Lagoon of Haapiti. It depicts the "old Tahiti" with its typical thatched-roof pandanus houses. We will enjoy an evening in a Polynesian Village of yesterday, with typical Polynesian dishes cooked in the traditional style during the feast we are entertained by a trio of musicians, then a spectacular dance show will tell us of the Tahitian Legends, all performed in the natural settings of an open air theatre.

We look forward to reserving an intimate candlelit dinner. We'll choose a quiet restaurant with a warm atmosphere, outstanding cuisine and impeccable service.

We will browse the boutique store and pick up a few local handicrafts and souvenirs as mementoes from our honeymoon.

Unlike driving at home, exploring on our honeymoon will be an adventure. With a one-day car rental, we can drive around the entire shoreline of Moorea, as well as venture inland on the single partially-paved road that passes through the Opunohu Valley.

What a great wedding gift! On a scooter with the warm breezes blowing gently on our faces, we will enjoy a fun honeymoon day exploring our honeymoon destination.

We will experience the special indulgence of a couple's massage lying side-by-side being pampered with exotic oils that hydrate the skin, rejuvenate senses, and leave us refreshed and revitalized. We want to reserve our spa treatments early for this ultimate spa experience!

Thank you for allowing us to pre-plan our honeymoon trip. It all goes toward having the ultimate honeymoon, made possible by your generous wedding gift.
