Port 8 Mo’orea — Tropical garden and vanilla bean plantation

Mo’orea mountains

We continued high into the mountainous interior.  Our next FranckyFranck tour destination would be a tropical garden which also contains a vanilla bean plantation.  Along the way we stopped several times to spot various fruits and other flora, such as these pineapples:

And we also saw along the way a soursop tree:

At the tropical garden/vanilla bean plantation we were treated to a vibrant display of colorful flowers, as well as a tasting of various treats made on the plantation.  Here are some of the flowers:

After about half an hour or so we left the tropical garden and continued along our way.  Many more photo opportunities awaited us:
