Moorea-Maiao: Museums, Exhibitions & Discounts

Moorea-Maiao is a commune in French Polynesia, an overseas collectivity of France in the South Pacific Ocean. It consists of two main islands: Moorea (also known as Mo'orea) and Maiao. Moorea, the larger of the two islands, is known for its dramatic landscapes with jagged volcanic peaks, clear lagoons, and rich Polynesian cultural heritage. Located about 17 kilometers northwest of Tahiti, the commune has preserved much of its traditional way of life while developing a modest tourism industry.

The islands feature archaeological sites including ancient marae (traditional religious sites), which provide insights into the area's pre-European history. The local culture is deeply rooted in Polynesian traditions, with practices such as traditional dance, music, and crafts still being actively maintained by the local population.
