The mountains of Moorea are among the most rugged in the world and every bit as rugged as the Himalayas.

Moorea is also insanely beautiful. The travel brochures do not lie. Those gorgeous resorts are on every corner. It is also only a short few hour sail from Tahiti. The slow pace was a welcomed treat after the hustle of Tahiti. Easily accomplished while anchored in eight feet of crystal clear turquoise water with the occasional ray cruising by. Likely commuting from Stingray City – a small spit of sand where they congregate daily. Waiting to be fed by the tourists. So eager and conditioned that they will nuzzle up to you as soon as you jump in.

But we don’t lounge for long. One of the peaks overlooking the anchorage was whispering to us. Come test me. I have gorgeous views and a killer ascent. What could go wrong?

What followed is one of our most epic memories in French Polynesia. A scramble to the top of Mount Rotui. A monster of a ridge. One that disappears into the clouds. Each thing we’d read about this hike was the same. Bring lots of water. Three litres each. Start at dawn and making the summit is a 50/50 chance. We drank all our water and every last drop came pouring out of us.
