Mount Tohivea
Mount Tohivea (or Tohiea) is an extinct volcano on the island of Mo'orea in French Polynesia. It is the island's highest point at 1207 m. The mountain is about 2 mi from Pao Pao, and is easily visible from Papeete, the capital of French Polynesia. Toheia is a remnant of the shield-building volcanic phase which built the island of Mo'orea. Its age has been estimated at between 1.9 and 1.5 Mya. Hiking trails on the mountain offer views of Cook's Bay, Opunohu Bay, and Tahiti. The mountain appears on the French Polynesian 50 and 100 franc coins.
