Mount Aorai

orai is the second highest peak in Tahiti, and in French Polynesia, after Orohena. The mountain is a good place to escape the tropical heat. The mountain has some nice rainforest and is really wild and scenic, despite the fact that it rises behind the largest city in all of French Polynesia. The mountain isn’t climbed very often, but since the trail begins at the French Army training center, the army keeps the trail well-maintained and in good condition. While Tahiti and all of French Polynesia are very popular with tourist, expect to have the mountains all to yourself.
