We were transported to the Hilton to meet our guide and got a crash course on how to run the ATV and off we went into the rugged interior of the mountain. We drove off road though beautiful farm lands that grew many fruits and lots and lots of pineapples the aroma in the air was delicious until we started smelling the fowl smell of pig poop, for some reason i always seem to find the piggies , Iowa, Exumas and now Moorea. They were just so cute we had to take pictures of them and there was one in particular that really showed off his man hood!You can see what i am talking about when you see our pictures.As we moved along we stopped at the Agricultural School for a decadent tasting of freshly made jams, yummy they were so good i purchased a few. The Agricultural School is also a Scientific center for Berkley University because Moorea is a complete socio-ecosystem, including coupled marine and terrestrial habitats, that has emerged as a key site for collaborative international research and advanced training for students. Then we continued up to the most beautiful views of the Island the Belvedere Lookout Point were you can see both bays, Cook Bay and Opunohu bay and Mt Rotui. These areas were very popular for film makers for movies like South Pacific and Mutiny On the Bounty. This was a photographers paradise day everywhere i turned i need to take a photo , it was just beautiful.
Once we returned from our ATV tour Mike and i decided to stay at the Hilton for lunch and we rented some snorkel gear and hit the water. Unfortunately we did not have our own snorkel equipment so the snorkeling was not that great because the mask leaked and the snorkel was making choke just to think i had it in my mouth knowing everyone else in the world had used this snorkel,, yuck yuck yuck. Call me a sissy but i just cant deal with that so that adventure was short.
