Mount Tohivea, Volcanic summit in Moorea, French Polynesia
Mount Tohivea rises to 1,207 meters above Moorea island, featuring steep slopes covered with dense tropical vegetation and native plant species.
The mountain formed during a shield-building volcanic phase between 1.9 and 1.5 million years ago, shaping the central landscape of Moorea island.
The French Polynesian government selected Mount Tohivea as a national symbol, featuring its profile on the 50 and 100 franc coins.
Hikers need to start their ascent at 6 AM from Haumi area, following road 291334 for a challenging 5-kilometer round trip to the summit.
During heavy rainfall periods, multiple waterfalls emerge on the upper sections of Mount Tohivea, creating temporary cascades visible across the island.
