At the south side of Oponohu Bay you can walk into the lush valley on a well marked trail. This is called the ancestors trail, and links several exceptional archeological sites. Walking through this luxuriant nature surrounded by ancient marae is a fascinating link to plolynesian history.

Time to head back to Tahiti, you’ll head out of the lagoon and around the south side of Moorea to cross the channel to the Taina Marina. For your last evening you can watch the sun set over Moorea and reflect on your week before having dinner at one of the many restuarants on west side of Tahiti or in Papeete to ease your return back to civilisation.
