We devoted the next couple days of our honeymoon to exploring the island. Given that it was a relatively small place, we made it our goal to hit every major tourist attraction and a few places of interest to us that we saw in our Lonely Planet guide. On one of the days, we hit a bunch of the major attractions by taking a guided tour on a 4×4. The two days after that, we went the DIY route by renting a car and doing some exploring on our own…

Posing by the 4×4. Yep, Mr. D would not stop taking pictures!

Here we are with our trusty rental!

Here are a few highlights from our island adventure!

View of the bay from the highest elevation point of the island…

Gorgeous beaches. This one is Tamae Beach…

We visited various local fruit plantations. My favorite was the pineapple plantation!

We hung out at the Tiki Village, Moorea’s cultural center.

We saw huge stingrays in the wild!

Another thing we got to see on the island was the beautiful art of tattoo at its best. Tattoo actually originated in Tahiti, and some of the most well-known tattoo artists reside on the island of Moorea. Mr. D and I both contemplated getting one as a romantic memento we would have forever, but at the last minute, decided against it. Nonetheless, we admired some of the most intricate tattoos we had ever seen.

We capped off each day with some snorkeling back at our beautiful resort!

We definitely enjoyed soaking up every moment!

Coming up: Things take a turn in the wrong direction…

Note: As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, if you would like to borrow any of the more artistic or scenic photos for your own blogs/sites or what not, we’d sincerely appreciate if you credited the “Daffodils on Weddingbee” , as they are very personal and special to us!
