The island of Raivavae is the first stop on our tour of the Austral Islands. We showcase two different hiking routes to the summit of Mount Hiro - the highest point on Raivavae. And also a trip to beautiful Motu Piscine (also known as the swimming pool motu). Part 1 of 4 of our video series on the Austral Islands. Filmed on June 6-13, 2025 during our fourth trip to French Polynesia.

What phenomenal views. The clarity of the water is absolutely stunning.
I know the climate doesn't call for it, but I think I'd need an ice climbing axe, just to self-arrest if I did slide down on those steep areas.
You are smart to wear long pants there. I learned a hard way shorts are not the best choice there
