Toatea Lookout
Belvédère de To'atea
A small viewpoint beside the island ring road, overlooking the gradient blues of Temae Lagoon, the overwater bungalows of the hotel, and Tahiti across the water.
Belvédère de To'atea lies beside the island ring road, south of Temae Beach. It is the first viewpoint you pass after driving from the ferry terminal onto the island. From the height, you can see the layers of Temae Lagoon, shifting from pale green to deep blue, the overwater bungalows of the Sofitel hotel, and the peaks of Tahiti about 17 kilometers away. It is especially beautiful at sunrise. Admission is free. You can pause briefly by the road, and photos take about 10–15 minutes. Traffic on the road moves fast, so take care when stopping to take photos.
