About Belvedere Lookout
Accessible by car, bicycle, or hiking trails, the lookout is a popular destination for visitors seeking a stunning perspective of the island’s volcanic terrain, emerald-green valleys, and turquoise lagoons. The journey to the top winds through dense tropical forests, pineapple plantations, and ancient archaeological sites, adding to the adventure.
Once at the summit, visitors are rewarded with a sweeping vista that showcases the island’s natural beauty and its contrast between jagged mountain ridges and the calm, shimmering waters below. It is a prime spot for photography, especially at sunrise or sunset when the lighting enhances the vibrant colors of the landscape.
Belvedere Lookout is not only a scenic wonder but also a place of historical and cultural significance, as the surrounding area is home to ancient Polynesian marae (sacred temples). Whether for sightseeing, hiking, or simply admiring the view, this iconic lookout is a must-visit on Moorea.
