Hitikau, Mountain summit in Ua Huka, French Polynesia.
Located on Ua Huka island in the Marquesas archipelago, Hitikau reaches an elevation of 884 meters above the Pacific Ocean.
The mountain formed through volcanic activity over two million years ago, becoming part of the natural barriers that shaped early Polynesian settlements.
The mountain's name carries traditional significance in Marquesan language, while a nearby establishment serves regional specialties including goat and kaveka dishes.
Visitors can find accommodation in four double rooms at Auberge Hitikau, situated at the base of the mountain northeast of Hane village.
Hitikau stands as the highest geographical point on Ua Huka, offering views across the crescent-shaped island and its narrow river valleys.
