The next day, we flew back to Tahiti and took the ferry to Moorea, just a short 30-minute ride away. Moorea had a completely different vibe—lush, mountainous, and perfect for adventure. Here, we stayed at a scenic villa with a plunge pool on the balcony!

While on Moorea, we did an ATV tour through the jungle, which took us to stunning viewpoints and even past freshwater eels (yes, we pet them!). We also stopped at a juice factory to try local tropical flavors and went on a hike to a beautiful swing through the island’s lush landscapes.

Another highlight was our fishing charter, where we hand-lined two good-sized albacore tuna and a skipjack tuna (Bri may or may not have struggled to lift the big tuna for a picture!). To finish the day, our fishing captain took us to swim with sharks and stingrays. Initially, we planned to take the last ferry back to Tahiti, but our guide kindly offered to prepare our fresh catch for us, so we decided to stay an extra night. It was absolutely worth it—the freshest tuna we’ve ever had! We also had some amazing food, including parrot fish stuffed with crab, escargot, steak from New Zealand, and a burger topped with foie gras and duck breast, all of which were highlights of our culinary adventure.
