TAKE A HIKE
Time to hit the trail
There are several hiking trails in Ua Pou, some in the mountains, some on the coast. Often you’ll need to be accompanied by a guide. The best-known trail is the traversière which crosses the island from Hakahau to Hakahetau and takes five hours. If you prefer a stroll to a hike, then stay on the coastal paths like the one which leads to the white sandy beach at Anahoa, to the east of Hakahau and takes about thirty minutes.
