Car
If you are traveling by car, start from Vaitape, the main town on Bora Bora. Head towards Route de Vaitape and follow it for approximately 10 kilometers. As you approach the area of Nūnu'e, you will see signs for Mt. Pahia. Park at the designated parking area near the trailhead. The last part of the journey involves a hike up the mountain, which is steep and may take around 2-3 hours depending on your fitness level.
Public Transportation
For those using public transportation, take a local bus from Vaitape towards the Pahia area. The buses are typically marked and run several times a day. Get off at the stop closest to the trailhead for Mt. Pahia. Once you disembark, follow the signs leading to the trailhead. Be prepared for a steep hike that will take about 2-3 hours to reach the summit. Ensure you check the bus schedule for the return trip to avoid being stranded.
Hiking
Regardless of whether you arrive by car or public transport, the final approach to Mt. Pahia requires a hike. The trail is well-marked but can be challenging, with steep sections and uneven terrain.
