Totini

Totini is a mountain summit on Tahiti in French Polynesia that rises prominently above the island landscape. The peak offers views across the volcanic terrain and the surrounding coastline.

The summit was mapped and documented during the early periods of European exploration in the region. It served as a reference point for navigation and surveying the island.

The mountain plays a role in traditional practices of local communities who visit it for ceremonial purposes. It holds spiritual importance in their connection to the land.

The climb requires sturdy hiking boots, plenty of water, and weather-appropriate clothing for the ascent. The driest conditions occur between May and October, making this the best season for a visit.

The volcanic layers visible at this location reveal the geological processes that shaped the island over millions of years. These formations tell the story of how Tahiti was created through volcanic activity.
