The one required nighttime activity here is an authentic feast and dance show at Tiki Theatre Village in Haapiti (tel. 55.02.50).
Moorea's major resorts also have Tahitian feasts and dance shows at least once a week. The most elaborate is the Saturday-evening lagoonside show at the Inter-Continental Resort & Spa Moorea. Most charge 7,500CFP to 8,500CFP (US$75-US$85) per person for the dinner and show.
One notable exception is the free show at the Club Bali Hai (tel. 56.13.68), every Wednesday at 6pm. It's followed by an a la carte seafood barbecue at Snack l'Ananas Bleu (The Blue Pineapple). Depending on what you order, dinner should cost about 2,500CFP (US$25). Reservations are required for the barbecue.
Sunsets with Muk at Club Bali Hai -- If I'm on Moorea, you'll find me beside Cook's Bay at the Club Bali Hai (tel. 56.13.68) swapping yarns with Muk McCallum, one of the original Bali Hai Boys. His bring-your-own happy hours run Thursday through Tuesday between 5:30 and 7pm. This is one of the great vistas in the South Pacific; you'll want to become a modern Paul Gauguin in order to capture the changing colors of the bay, sky, and jagged mountains.
Among the restaurants, Maria Tapas (tel. 55.01.70) has entertainment on Thursday and Saturday evenings (unless you dine here, expect a cover charge when bands perform), and Scottish-born guitarist Ron Falconer usually plays at Alfredo's (tel. 56.17.71) on Thursday and Sunday.
