From my earlier visit to this beautiful island
Ultra-marathon # 27 – 67 km / 42 miles
Mo’orea is a South Pacific island, part of French Polynesia’s Society Islands archipelago. It’s known for its jagged volcanic mountains and sandy beaches. In the north, Mount Rotui overlooks picturesque Ōpūnohu Bay and the settlements around Cook’s Bay. Inland, hiking trails wind through rainforest on the slopes of Mount Tohivea. The Belvedere Lookout has panoramic views of the island’s peaks and Tahiti beyond.
As we were there for a full day, I decided to run the entire parameter which is a total distance of 42 miles (67 km) which took me 6 hours 18 minutes to complete. What an amazing experience to see the entire island by foot: impressive mountains and beautiful beaches. It doesn’t get better than this.
