| Moorea is the most exceptional of the islands. Its knife-edge mountains are visually irresistable, and the twin bays on the north shore are sublime -- especially Opunohu Bay, which has almost completely escaped development. The views from Belvedere, overlooking the bays and the mountains, can knock the speech right out of your throat... or something like that. |

 We're trying to spot dolphins. You only see them in the darker water within the lagoon. |
