Best Island Vacations | Moorea, French Polynesia | Travel & Leisure

From Moorea with love 💚 Moorea’s lush vegetation is one of the qualities that gives the island its beautiful tropical appearance. The island is surrounded by coral reef, which can be seen in turquoise. Moorea is part of a chain of islands formed by hot-spot volcanism. This means that volcanoes are created by ‘fixed’ hot areas in Earth’s mantle. Because of plate tectonics, the plate gradually moves away from over the hotspot, carrying a volcano with it while a new volcanoes form in a chain above
