Separating Cook’s and Opunohu Bays, Mt. Rotui stands as a striking natural landmark in French Polynesia. Its jagged sides, lush with green vegetation, converge at the summit to form an almost perfect pyramid, with a rocky spur reaching 2,951 feet (900m). When clouds gather behind the mountain, they create the illusion of a smoking volcano, adding to its dramatic presence. Visitors can admire the mountain’s imposing form and the scenic bays it overlooks, experiencing a landscape that is both rugged and verdant.
