@KatNYC2011: ugh this is very sad…We rented scooters in Moorea and a car stopped short in front of him. To avoid hitting the car he swirved and crashed the scooter. He had to have emergency surgery in Papeete bc he broke his left big toe & the bone was sticking out so it was a high risk of infection. It totally SUCKED and he wasn’t able to participate in any water activities. He was a total sport and it didn’t ruin a single part of the honeymoon.
Its a mix of relaxation and water activities. We also played a ton of ping pong since DH couldn’t go into the water, LOL We made the very best of our time there!

@lefeymw: i wish we knew too, ugh he was so upset and feels terrible. My suggested – rent a dune buggie, go on the ATV tour, or rent a car – DO NOT RENT A SCOOTER. Moorea is very small and for a half day you can go around the island. There is a gorgeous natural water fall, stop at the juice factory, and the view along the way are amazing…
