While it is marketed as a honeymoon destination, Tahiti and her islands are perfect for family holidays as well. Bliss knows no bounds here and there is plenty to do if you like water sports and beach activities. Or just enjoy the slow island life, walk barefoot and let the sand massage your feet, crystal clear blue water hugs you like an old friend, watch the sun paint the sky.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" data-attachment-id=\"13566\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/oceania\/french-polynesia\/photo-blog-moorea-island-drive\/attachment\/moorea_drive_outsidesuburbia24\/#main\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Moorea_drive_OutsideSuburbia24.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1024,684\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D750&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1451408946&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;\\u00a9  OutsideSuburbia.com&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;38&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;400&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.004&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Moorea_drive_OutsideSuburbia24\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Moorea_drive_OutsideSuburbia24-1024x684.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Moorea_drive_OutsideSuburbia24-1024x684.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Moorea_drive_OutsideSuburbia24-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"Photo blog of Moorea Island Drive, our shortest road trip ever - Outside Suburbia\" class=\"wp-image-13566\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Moorea_drive_OutsideSuburbia24.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Moorea_drive_OutsideSuburbia24-640x428.jpg 640w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Moorea_drive_OutsideSuburbia24-600x401.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-large\">\n<p><strong>Moorea is easy to love but difficult to leave<\/strong>!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope you enjoyed our photo blog of Moorea Island Drive, our shortest road trip ever!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Additional information<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We rented our car for the day from<a href=\"https:\/\/www.anrdoezrs.net\/links\/8181889\/type\/dlg\/https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/Attraction_Review-g309685-d2402573-Reviews-Albert_s_Transport-Moorea_Society_Islands.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"&nbsp;Albert Transport (opens in a new tab)\">&nbsp;<strong>Albert Transport<\/strong><\/a><strong>, <\/strong>the only car rental we found in the island.
