When Captain Cook visited Moorea in 1777 the island had a thriving population that may have been as high as 30,000 people.  Opunohu Valley was home to a large portion of that population and the remains of houses, worship sites, farming terraces, and sport areas can still be seen.

  • Reviewer: Laurie Horton located in San Diego, California USA
    I really want to thank you for pulling everything together so well.  There was a balance of adventure and relaxation; of education and playfulness.  It's no secret that the rest of the group was very dubious about this part of the trip.  Thanks to you it turned out to be hands down the better half of the holiday.  At Bora Bora we could gaze at the mountains like every other tourist...but WE knew what a Tahitian mountain felt like! Very, very fun time for all of us…

    We just landed at LAX and wanted to thank you again for putting together an amazing, unforgettable trip for us.  We are already talking about what we want to do when we come back.

    The next day made our trip.  If I had a vision in my head of what it should be like Ugo went there and beyond.  Aiai was surreal, Ugo spear fishing for our lunch and struggling back to the boat with a huge Wrasse followed closely by sharks, the beach camp (picnic lunch)... All were experiences Zandi and I will cherish.  Thank you for putting it together for us.
