Activity description

Climb one of French Polynesia's legendary mountains with a local guide on this hike up Moorea's Pierced Mountain!

A sacred mountain with a stunning legend, Mou'a puta is also renowned for its hiking route offering magnificent panoramas of Mount Rōtui, as well as Cook and Ōpūnohu bays, from its summit. So if you are sporty and ready to walk for nearly 6 hours, don't miss out on this hike up Moorea's pierced mountain, with a local guide to accompany you and share the legend of this unique site!

In a small group of no more than 10 participants, you will set off to climb Mou'a puta, which reaches an altitude of 830 metres. The more adventurous among you can even choose to complete the hike with a 20-metre abseil into the hole in the pierced mountain - an experience you won't be able to do without a guide, and one that requires you not to be afraid of heights! With Terii, your local guide, you will discover Mou'a puta like never before on this guided hike in Moorea.

So if you are wondering what kind of outing to take if you want to venture into the heart of Polynesian nature, don't wait any longer and choose this guided hike on Mou'a puta in Moorea!
