Guided tour details

“Take a step back in time.

A ridge hike above Temae, between volcanic verticality and lagoon horizon, a magnificent view of Tahiti awaits you.

The route

Departure is from Temae, on Moorea’s north coast. The path soon rises and leaves the coastal atmosphere to enter a more marked relief.

The ascent to Mount Paʻaru Iti builds gradually. The terrain becomes narrower in places, the vegetation tightens, then opens up again to unexpected side views. The sensation changes: you’re not just dominating the landscape, you’re moving into the heart of the ridge line.

The closer you get to the summit, the wider the view. The view embraces the Temae coastline, the brightly hued lagoon and the surrounding landscape. The Paʻaru Iti’s position offers a different angle to those of other viewpoints: more dynamic, more in relief.

This tour offers a more visually engaging experience, while remaining adaptable to private use. Pace and breaks are adjusted according to your ease on mountain terrain.
