Our favorite safari tour company in Moorea is Inner Island Safari owned by Alex and Ghislaine Roo a Haamaterii.   This year both Alex and Ghislaine showed us their island.  We feed eels, visited an agricultlural school where we saw a botantical garden, learned about vanilla, had a fruit jam tasting, visited Belevdere, had our picture taken in front of Bali Hai, went to a distillerie and hiked up to Magic Mountains for a stunning view of Moorea and its lagoons.

Aini brought the group licorice pipes from Finland and the group had a lot of fun with them.

We tasted jams and had fresh fruit smoothies at the agricultural school.

Alex showed the group vanilla bean plants.

Tina and friend. Right out of a Gauguin painting!

Waiting for the eels to appear!

Didi explaining that the eels are called Tahitian blue-eyed princesses.

Here they come!  Alex feeds them mackerel.

Belvedere.   We are standing where Mel Gibson, Liam Neeson and Anthony Hopkins stood in "The Bounty".  Be still my heart!

We visited a distillerie where the group got a tasting of fresh fruit liquers.  

Inside the distillerie.

Aini's father took her to see "South Pacific" when she was a child and she loved the music from the album and she knows all the words to the songs.   .  Here she is standing in front of the mythical "Bali Hai".

Aini seeing pineapple plants for the first time in her life!  The ones she gets in Finland are all imported.

Bali Hai will call you!

Alex explains to the group about his family's marae which is a sacred archeological site.

The highlight of every safari trip is going to Magic Mountain which is high up on the volcano and has a stunning view of Moorea and her lagoons. 

The red roof is the little coral church where Heinui and Didi were married in 2004.

After our trip to Magic Mountain, Ghislaine fixes us a snack of fresh fruit.
