Moorea/ Cook islands?
hi all, i’m thinking about where to go for a big birthday trip. For context I’m Australian so have had the privilege of access to great snorkelling, beaches etc over my life, locally and in the South Pacific, SE asia etc
I have always wanted to go to FP and am thinking about Moorea, based on affordability, ease of access, and family friendliness. We have previously been to Rarotonga and still swoon over those memories. From what I can see Moorea looks pretty similar, however based on the video blogs i have seen it seems more touristy and the snorkelling, eg between the motus, honestly looks pretty average. Everything i read about Moorea is GLOWING and people are amazed by it. I know i would still have a great time but but will we be a bit underwhelmed if we have already been to Raro/ Aitutaki?
Would love to hear from anyone who has spent time on both. Thanks!
