Travelers

Morning light brushes the lagoon as throttles ease forward and the skis slip out of Opunohu Bay. The water flashes between turquoise and ink-blue, daring you to open it up. Ahead, Moorea’s volcanic spires shoulder the sky, their basalt faces catching cloud and wind. A guide points a line past reef cuts and sandbars, the bay’s mouth breathing in and out with the swell while you carve across its pulse.

Adventure Tips

Go early for calmer seas

Morning departures usually mean lighter wind and smoother lagoon conditions for the jetski portion.

Wear closed-toe shoes for the quad

Trainers or light hikers protect your feet from hot engine parts and give better grip on dusty or wet tracks.

Practice reef etiquette

Don’t stand on coral, keep a respectful distance from sharks and rays, and use reef-safe sunscreen only.

Know the driver rules

Jetski drivers must be 16+; quad drivers must be 18+ with a valid license. Bring your license for check-in.

History

James Cook anchored in 1777 in the bay that now bears his name; the Belvédère lookout surveys two bays carved from Moorea’s ancient volcanic caldera. Pineapple cultivation took root here in the late 19th century and still shapes valley life.

Conservation

Parts of the lagoon near the motus are managed as protected areas—avoid touching coral, don’t feed wildlife, and pack out all trash. Choose reef-safe sunscreen to reduce chemical stress on reefs.
