Mo’orea
Another destination in French Polynesia, this is the gateway to the largest coral-reef system in the world. Parasailing, snorkeling, swimming with dolphins and taking glass-bottomed boat tours are popular activities.
The coastline’s jaw-dropping beauty rivals that of any other place in the South Pacific. Hiking trails and a road along the shore provide access to lagoons, villages, temples, lookout points and pineapple plantations.
