Hiking on Ua Pou

These islands offer some fantastic hikes. But because the paths are not obvious, not much used, and cross private lands, it's best to take a local guide. On Ua Pou we walked with Jerome from the little pension up the hill, and he turned out to be a well of knowledge and a very good guide and entertainer. Highly recommended.


It's easy to see from the bay that there must be some fantastic hikes on the island of Ua Pou.


Jerome explaining about the local flora. No doubt poisonous.


Sue scratched herself, and Jerome wrestled her to the ground immediately to treat the wound.


The vulcanic spires poking through the vegetation, into the clouds.


Ulli is taking in the scenery.


A rest for the wicked

In the evening we return to Hakahau bay
