1. My Fav Moorea Instagram spots – Palm Tree Overwater
For a unique and quintessential tropical shot, head to Opunohu Bay where you’ll find a lone palm tree gracefully arching over the crystal-clear waters. This picturesque scene against the backdrop of verdant hills and the tranquil bay is a photographer’s dream. Whether you’re standing on the shore or carefully sitting on the palm tree itself (one person at a time, please!), this spot offers endless possibilities for capturing captivating images that showcase Moorea’s natural beauty. Be carefull !

Moorea Instagram spots – Drone regulations
In Moorea, drone usage is governed by strict regulations aimed at protecting the environment and residents’ privacy. It’s crucial to adhere to no-fly zones and obtain local permissions before flying. Drones should steer clear of residential areas, historical or cultural sites, and sensitive natural habitats like bird nesting zones or coral reefs. Always fly responsibly and respect local rules to avoid any issues and preserve the island’s natural beauty. I registered my drone with Alpha Tango to ensure compliance with local regulations, enabling me to capture aerial footage while adhering to the island’s guidelines.
