We took Dammon's ATV tour up here and it was excellent. He made sure we were the first to arrive and gave us a great tour. The looking from Magic Mountain is stunning, panoramic views of the color variations in the water. Would highly recommend!

The trip to this magical place was an experience that will not be forgotten soon. It was intense to be driving up these steep, narrow roadways seeing such breath taking views. Once you get to the top you think to yourself what more could I possibly see, oh there is more. The 360 degree scene before you is amazing.

Visited at the end of our ATV tour. Took the narrow road to the top. Memories and photos to last a lifetime.

Wow, what a view. This stop was included on the ATV Moorea 3.5 hour tour. It was a great finish to the tour. The views are incredible.

This is a must-see for Moorea. It's a tough drive on a 4-wheeler but definitely worth it. My favorite view from our trip!

My husband and I hiked up Magic Mountain. It was only a short walk from the cruise ship tender dock in Opunohu. The hike is really steep and "breathtaking" but worth it. Uphill we hiked the shorter steeper route and came down the longer one through the woods. The 360 view from the top is fantastic and the hike was... More

When you get to the top, the views are delightful! You can see so much of the island and surrounding water.

We went here with Alberts Tours. We took the 4x4 safari which took us to Magic Mountain. It is a narrow one way steep road up the side of a mountain. There are no guard rails. When you get there, there is a steep dropoff and there are no guard rails except for a thin chain. The view of the... More
