Mt Tautuapae, Mountain summit in Moorea, French Polynesia

The 769-meter-high Mont Tautuapae stands on the northwestern peninsula of Moorea, separating Opunohu Bay from the Pacific Ocean.

The volcanic formations of Mont Tautuapae, composed primarily of basalt, date back approximately 1.5 to 2 million years.

Mont Tautuapae forms part of the eight mountain ranges that led ancient inhabitants to name the island Aimeo i te rava varu.

Hikers can access Mont Tautuapae through marked trails starting from the Opunohu Valley, which lead to panoramic views of the island.

The mountain contains specific geological structures that contribute to the understanding of volcanic formation processes in the Society Islands.
