Cook's Bay from the Belevedere. There is often a tour ship for French Polynesia anchored in the bay, I think this was the Paul Gauguin. It visits many of the islands providing a wonderfully scenic, contained opportunity for those of such a nature. The journey up to the Belevedere can begin at one bay and end at the other. Mt Rotui separates the two bays and provides dramatic jungle-covered steep sides. In the area of the Belvedere lie the largest of the archeological sites on Moorea, the marae or "temples" of the island chains.
