Drive Moorea’s volcanic interior in a half-day 4WD tour that visits Cook and Opunohu bays, the Belvedere viewpoint, ancient marae and sweeping pineapple fields. Expect short walks, local tastings and panoramic stops.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Dust kicks up behind the 4WD as the road peels away from the lagoon and climbs into Moorea’s green spine. You feel the ridge steer you toward wide views: Cook and Opunohu bays opening like two blue crescents, the caldera walls folding inward where lava once pooled and cooled.

History
Marae are pre-contact Polynesian ceremonial sites; Moorea’s interior also reflects 19th–20th century shifts to plantation agriculture, notably pineapple cultivation.
Conservation
Stay on established tracks, avoid removing cultural artifacts and buy local products to support sustainable livelihoods; the caldera soils and streams are erosion-sensitive.
