Behind our famous monkey pose is a view of the valley from Belvedere's peak. The highest point on Mo'orea.
This is the other famous bay, Opunohu Bay. Between June to October, the humpback whales frequent this area. We went scuba diving in the area a couple of times but no luck.
Of course, no trip with my two travel buddies would be complete without our famous monkey pose!
I am looking down the glass bottom floor of my overwater bungalow. At night, the fish are attracted to the bright lights that are lit up at the bottom of the ocean, so you can watch the fish frolick.
This was your view from the top....The Sofitel Ia Ora Hotel and Resort. Sigh.
These houses on hills are for sale, but only if you were of Tahitian citizenship. They were only about $300K a piece. Not bad for such a prime location.
Fish feeding off the balcony was fun. And we also discovered how much they loved shrimp chips.
I still cannot get over how calm and beautiful the waters were! Photos are so wonderful that way. They take you back in time to that special place and allow you to relive those moments. I could almost smell the salty breeze against my skin again. This was my private oceanview every morning, as I sipped my coffee and just relaxed. My husband and I made a promise that in 10 years, we will come back and renew our vows. Right here.
