Mount Otemanu is the striking centerpiece of Bora Bora, an extinct volcano that rises 727 meters (2,385 feet) above the island. Its jagged, green-covered peak is visible from almost anywhere on the island, creating a dramatic backdrop for the lagoon. While the summit is off-limits due to steep cliffs, adventurous hikers can trek to a ridge for breathtaking panoramic views of the island and surrounding motus. The hike is challenging and requires a guide, but the reward is an unforgettable vista of Bora Bora's beauty.
