This hike offers two routes, one shorter and more intense, the other gentler and more gradual, through fruit trees and pine forests. Both paths converge on a common reward: a magical 360° view of Moorea.
A poetic guided excursion, to be experienced to the rhythm of the island’s breath.

Activity details
“See the island open up beneath your feet.”
A signature panorama of Moorea, between sparkling lagoon and volcanic relief.
The hike to Magic Mountain (Faa Roa) leads to one of Moorea’s most emblematic viewpoints. The ascent is gradual on an accessible trail, allowing you to reach the summit without rushing.
As you climb higher, the scenery changes. The intense green of the vegetation reveals the nuances of Moorea’s lagoon, with its turquoise gradations and motus in the distance. The climb is short but structuring: it creates a clear transition between the island’s interior and its openness to the ocean.
Reaching the summit offers spectacular panoramic views of the lagoon, volcanic landforms and coral reef. It’s an ideal spot for an extended break, a photo opportunity or simply some observation time.
Access to Magic Mountain involves a short but steady climb, with terrain that can be dusty or slightly slippery depending on the weather.
It is recommended to provide :
Magic Mountain is more than just a photo. The best moment is often when you move slightly away from the shore to observe the contrasts between sea, reef and mountain. Taking the time to observe the colors of the lagoon completely changes your perception of the place.
