Mt. Pa’ia Summit — Attraction in Bora-Bora

One of the most beautiful views in Polynesia, but the hike is not for everyone. We are intermediate hikers, but we do some climbing which really helps for this one as it is not typical hike.

We needed 6+hours to finish the whole trip and about 5liters of water between the two of us. We were lucky that it was a bit cloudy and not super warm. About 2/3 of the climb are in the shade, but it's Polynesian weather so you will be sweating...a lot.

I don't think the route is badly marked and we never really felt like getting lost (paying attention to path is necessary tho). Hardest part is getting started but locals are very helpful. You start on the side road near Tahiti pearl market and turn left at the end of the road (better ask if not sure). Afterwards you go about 15minutes through overgrown grass/bush until you get into the jungle. Then it's straightforward following of visible path mostly. The hike is not long but very intense as you go up a lot. You should feel confident climbing steep paths with ropes as support and not be afraid of hights. Some parts are closer to via ferrata than regular a hike. Don't forget good shoes, sunscreen and mosquito repellent. It can get slippery when wet. If you still decide to do this, which you totally should, your reward will be some of the most stunning views in...

I summit Mt.Ohue yesterday 10/21/22 Mt.pahia is a stone throw away but i had to descent fast due to rain clouds on its way. The trail conditions was muddy and wet, very dangerous and i suggest you use a guide if you do not know how to track trails bec you're gonna have to, its not marked at all. it always rain in the morning. I started my ascent at 7am and didn't summit Mt. Ohue till 10am. I'm an advanced type of hiker at class 3 is my best zone but this trail is touching the class 4 level bec you have to pull yourself up with the rope at least more than 5 sections going up and down. If the trail condition is wet, muddy, reconsider it for a dry day. I dont care what kind of fancy hiking shoes you have, you're gonna slip-slide down period. The first rain approaches 30mins after i descent so i have plenty of tree cover for the rain. The second rain was after an hour after i reach the end of the trail at the bottom. I was the only one at the summit that day and passed another one at the beginning of the trail, i gave him a fair warning of trail conditions and he proceeded. It rained really hard after a 15mins when i passed him. Don't bring your kids or any non agile adult past 40. This isn't a walk in the park. The views are breathtaking. I would not attempt this again in...

Bora bora hike

Stjerner 5

We went a group of 6 young people. We started at the ferry dock in (name). The hike trail was easy to find. And I will put in a picture of the trail.

We did not use a guide. The trail is easy followable if you have a little bit of hike sense. There is red markings on the route, and there are ropes that you can use at the steep end of the trail.

Difficulty: intermediate/difficult You need to be in good shape and be able to pull your self up ropes and use full body strength most of the hike.

Bring at leat two litres of water per person. All of the hike is in shadow from high trees

Amazing 360 view at the top and cool top rope “repelling” at the end.

Do not atempt this hike in rain or after heavy rain. It will be...
