Beautiful Moorea (sorry Tahiti!) has a ring road going along the coast. It is 60 kms long so it is hard to walk around the island in one day. Alternatively you can take expensive tour (from 50 USD) or to rent a small car for some 100 $. If you have plenty of time you can rely on erratic public bus paying 3 usd per ride.

West of Moorea has stil nice, turquoise lagoon and picturesque mountains inland but is much less developed then north.
