What to do and see in Moorea, Society Islands: The Best Free Things to do

December 27, 2021 Jeremy Dunfee

The world's largest coral reef eco-system actually consists of 3,000 separate reefs. The island of Moorea serves as the perfect base camp for snorkelers and scuba divers seeking to come face-to-face with the diversity of life that darts among the coral. Non-swimmers can enjoy the same parade of astounding creatures from the dry perch of a glass-bottomed boat. Formed when half of a monolithic volcano crumbled to the blue-green sea, Moorea is an achingly exquisite heart-shaped island that is simply paradise found.

My stunning Peacock Pearl & diamond ring arrived this week from Tahiti! I’m thrilled with the luster of the Pearl and shimmer of diamonds surrounding it. When I look at my pearl I see the beautiful lagoons and lush jungles of French Polynesia! Even though we couldn’t visit the islands this year, Mat with Tahia was able to find the perfect match to the peacock Pearl pendant I purchased last year! I was devastated that my husband and I couldn’t travel to French Polynesia this year because of the global pandemic. But..... I was fortunate enough to have a Tahia Exquisite Tahitian Pearl shipped directly to me! The ring took just a day to clear customs in LosAngeles before it arrived the next day in Atlanta. Mat at Tahia worked diligently with me for many months via email. I photographed my pendant and he looked up the record of our purchase in 2019. He found exactly the perfect peacock pearl and a ring was made to be a set! Mat was very patient and knowledgeable. He emailed me many pictures of the ring and gave me all the details of pearl size, luster, quality, diamond carats etc... I was hesitant to buy fine jewelry via email and photos. But due to COVID-19 our trip to Tahiti and BoraBora this year was unfortunately cancelled. Lucky for me, my husband did the next best thing and got me a Tahia Exquisite Tahitian Pearl for Christmas!! Thank you to Mat and the Tahia team for making sure I got exactly what I wanted. They made it an easy transaction, shipped it out quickly, then tracked it all the way to my doorstep. My Tahia Pearl fine jewelry set is the highlight of this very difficult year! I hope we can return to French Polynesia in 2021 so I can thank Mat in person at the Tahia boutique.

My wife and I had a great time in this Pearl shop???????? Nancy was very knowable and shared that knowledge with us- so that we had a better understanding of what we were trying to buy. Unfortunately we did not purchase anything from her store because my wife was looking for a pair of earrings in a certain color. We did enjoy Nancy's professional & bright spirit she brings to the customer. We will certainly go back agin on our return visit!!

My wife and I spent a half day during our trip to Moorea searching for a set of Tahitian Pearls. We took a scooter to pretty much every store that was open and SAB had the best selection for what we were looking for. They were extremely friendly, knowledgeable and patient with us.

I stayed at the Manava Beach Hotel in Moorea and came across this store right off the lobby. I had no intention of making a major purchase, but I was soon fascinated by the intriguing hues of the pearls. Veronica was very personable, with all the warmth of her native Mexico. While browsing, I came across a design I loved, but it was a pendant for a necklace and I wanted to adapt it for a ring. Veronica arranged for me to speak with Thierry, the owner, right away on the phone and he came over later that day to meet me. He quickly understood what I had in mind and got back to me very quickly with a quote to make a ring. We met again to look at a selection of pearls based on criteria I had given him. In just a few days I had a beautiful ring made to measure with a gorgeous aubergine 'peacock' pearl. The ring is a stunner and it receives many compliments. It was a pleasure to spend time with Veronica and Thierry and I can highly recommend their store.
