Description
Moorea is one of the most spectacular islands in the world, and it has a vibrant cultural history. The island itself is about 2 million years old - a volcano risen up from the depths of the ocean.
We will explore beaches, forests, and take a walk through an ancient village where archaeologists are piecing together the pre-history of the Polynesians.
Along the way we will take time to talk about geology, plants and animals, Polynesian settlement, European explorations, and modern environmental issues.
Moorea is one of the most spectacular islands in the world, and it has a vibrant cultural history. The island itself is about 2 million years old - a volcano risen up from the depths of the ocean.
Its flora and fauna have developed over this time and created a
complex ecosystem unique to this island. People have live on Moorea for
almost 2,000 years, and a rich history of traditional knowledge has
been passed down through the generations.
With two major research
institutions here now, including UC Berkeley’s Gump Research Station,
it is also now likely the most studied island in the world. We have
taken all of the available information generated by researchers and
local elders and woven it into a tour that will introduce you to how
the island of Moorea came to be as it is today, in all of its natural
splendor and cultural richness.
