travel south pacific french polynesia mo'orea motu picnic
Most of our day on Moorea was spent at a motu islet beach and barbeque.
This land excursion, offered through Princess Cruises, was the most professionally run of all the tours we took.
The location was beautiful, the wild sting rays and frigate birds fascinating, and the guides very entertaining.
If you don't mind large groups, it is a great way to celebrate the finish to a cruise before returning to the busy city of Papeete.

The food preparation was more professional than the Bora Bora picnic... and therefore seemingly less authentic.
