Tahitian Odyssey invites you to climb Pihaiateta, the fifth highest peak on the island of Tahiti. Culminating at 1,742 meters, the summit of Pihaiateta offers an exceptional view of the Tuauru valley (Mahina district) and the Te Faiti valley (Papenoo district), with the neighboring peaks of Pito Hiti and Orohena .

It is a mixed climb, between hiking and climbing on certain sections. The trail is wild, very vegetated and greasy (mud, wet earth). Throughout the ascent, there are numerous rope passages and ridge passages.
