Tuhiva Tiki Viewpoint (Taiohae)

A very big modern tiki, Tuhiva, built on a hill at the edge of Taiohae Bay, now a meeting place with a wide view over the village and anchorage.

Practical

Position approx: plotted at the Wikipedia/GeoHack coordinate for Taiohae village (8°54'35"S 140°06'05"W); use the walking directions to find the building. Noonsite (May 2026) mentions it as a cruiser highlight; ask in town for the path. Go early or late for the light and the heat.
