I looked at this mountain all week from my over the water bungalow. Looks perfect through sunrise, rain, brighten by a rainbow, with birds over head, and sunset....loved every minute!

Great view of Otemanu while staying at the Intercontinental Thalasso in Bora Bora. Our over the water bungalow had a gorgeous view. There were days when the tip as incased in clouds - yet the rest of the sky sunny and bright. Days with rainbows over the peaks of the Mount. A beaufitul green color and interesting shape! Then when... More

Great view of both peaks from the Bora Bora Pearl Resort. I took tons of pictures from our bungalow! BE sure to take a boat tour that will take you around the island to see it from all sides.

We visited Bora Bora in April 2013 on board HAL Westerdam as a part of a 35-day cruise of the South Pacific. The cruise was outstanding as was this great view of Mt Otemanu. It hasn't changed much from when I was last in Bora Bora 40 years ago and stayed at the now defunct Club Med Bora Bora!

This beautiful peak is part of the wonderful landscape view from the Four Season Resort. It will be part of most of your Bora Bora photos. It creates a great contrast with the lagoon.

4x4 Adventure this day, amsolutely magic touring up through the mountainside and taking in the spectacular views with a "self driving car" whilst our guide played ukelele for us. Coming around the blind bends to an elevated viel over the airport and a history lesson of the american G.I's. Sensational, hightly recommended

It's not an attraction or a travel supplier... but anyway if we are ranking how beautiful it is than yes I give it 5 stars. Changes shape everytime you look at it from different locations not necessarily that far apart. Amazaing backdrop for sure.

The views of this mountain varies from wherever you are in Bora Bora. You never get tired of the view. The way the clouds must separate to pass over this mountain is spectacular and it seemed that the top was always wet. We stayed at the Le Moana and the view of this mountain was excellent, especially from the OWB's... More

Picture perfect setting. Beautiful views from anywhere in Bora Bora but most impressive from the Four Seasons and St. Regis.
