Tahitian Odyssey invites you to climb Mount Aorai, the third highest peak on the island of Tahiti. Culminating at 2,066 meters, Mount Aorai, which means the “Kingdom of the Sky”, is the most popular for hikers or trail enthusiasts.

Its ascent is done in several stages, passing different viewpoints on the interior of the island, on the neighboring ridges and summits.

Sunrise Formula.

- Departure* between 11 p.m. and 12 a.m. (depending on weather conditions).

- The ascent of Mount Aorai is then done at night, under the stars for a more comfortable progression than during the day when the heat and humidity make the muscles suffer and increase the risk of quitting. The path is well marked, wild, with a few rope passages on the slippery sections.

/!\ You should not be sensitive to vertigo, because the passages on the ridge are narrow, empty on each side /!\

- Arrival at the summit for the sunrise with a breathtaking view of the Tahiti caldera, the orange plateau, the diadem, Pito hiti, Orohena and much more!

>>> The package includes a headlamp for night walking, hot drinks (coffee/tea) and biscuits <<<

*A later departure is also possible, for those who do not necessarily wish to attend the sunrise.

*The times quoted above are indicative but may change depending on your physical condition, the number of hikers in the group and the weather conditions. A telephone interview with the guide is necessary to address all the technical points and assess the level of the hikers before embarking on this magical adventure!
