Pito Hiti

Pito Hiti reaches an elevation of 2,110 meters above sea level, featuring steep volcanic slopes that rise from the tropical landscape of Tahiti.

The mountain emerged from underwater volcanic activity millions of years ago, forming part of the geological foundation of present-day Tahiti.

The name derives from Tahitian language, with variations in pronunciation leading to two interpretations: 'to get up' and 'little navel'.

Hikers need to prepare for tropical conditions with proper gear, water supplies, and local guidance when ascending the mountain paths.

The summit provides views extending across the Pacific Ocean, revealing the volcanic arc formation that characterizes the French Polynesian archipelago.
