点评:We parked the car at their small parking lot (if full, I doubt) just parked next door at the school lot/adjacent to Fare Tutava) paid the 100XPF per person, cash only, "hike fee" and started the our journey up the road.
You pass 3 houses and then it's just nature, with couple stops here and there in a shade where even nice benches are located - definitely lots of calories burnt here that day!
Although the bottom part of the path is one road only, it does split after a while - no worries both paths will take you to the top as they meet again towards the top "flatter parking area" where all excursion/tours stop as well. If you want a lighter version of this trail stay all the time on your left when going up, so when at the fork take the left as it's a bit longer but definitely less steep hike - that's the one that cars also take - we missed that piece of info and took the right path and it's definitely a challenging one - all paved pretty much but very steep - and what you can do is simply take one way up and other way down for a variety - like we did and we loved it, I was glad we made the original "mistake" :)
Once at the top there is a final small stretch that is even steeper and then you are on the platform - all exposed to the sun so manage water/sunscreen wisely as you will definitely be drenched by the time you arrive at the top. Most of the hike is some kind of shade opportunity but while at the top nothing to screen yourself with.
One of the coolest things to do in Moorea! Liked it more than the "easy" Belvedere Lookout stop - perhaps because of personal satisfaction on the effort part, or perhaps because it's nowhere as crowded as the Belvedere one is due to how easy it is to get to vista point... or perhaps because the corny name "magic mountain" actually provides even nicer views but that's a personal preference.
It takes about 30-45m up, with some breaks as it was hot and difficult :) the easier way down was about 30m or so and much easier - both have the benches with some views on the way to the top.
On the bottom you can get some souvenirs or food/shakes/smoothies and there is another business providing food and excellent ice cream next door called Fare Tutava (reviewed separately) where we ended up twice :)
翻译:我们把车停在他们的小停车场(如果满了,我怀疑)就停在学校停车场旁边/Fare Tutava 附近)支付每人 100XPF 的“徒步费”,只收现金,然后开始我们的上路之旅。
你经过 3 栋房子,然后就是大自然,在阴凉处停几站,甚至还有漂亮的长椅 - 那天在这里燃烧了很多卡路里!
虽然路径的底部只有一条路,但过了一会儿它就会分叉 - 不用担心,两条路都会带你到山顶,因为它们在山顶“平坦的停车区”再次相遇,所有的短途旅行/旅游也都在这里停下来。如果您想要一条轻松的路线,上山时请始终靠左行走,因此在岔路口时请向左走,因为这条路稍长但绝对不那么陡峭 - 这也是汽车也走的路 - 我们错过了这条信息,选择了正确的路,这条路绝对具有挑战性 - 几乎全部铺好但非常陡峭 - 您可以做的是简单地走一条路上山,另一条路下山,以体验不同的感觉 - 就像我们做的那样,我们很喜欢,我很高兴我们犯了最初的“错误” :)
到达山顶后,最后还有一段更陡峭的小路,然后您就到了平台上 - 全部暴露在阳光下,因此请明智地管理水/防晒霜,因为到达山顶时您肯定会全身湿透。大部分徒步旅行都是某种遮荫机会,但在山顶时没有任何东西可以遮挡自己。
这是在莫雷阿岛最酷的事情之一!比起“简单”的 Belvedere Lookout 站点,我更喜欢这里 - 或许是因为个人对努力的满足感,或许是因为这里不像 Belvedere 那样拥挤,因为很容易到达观景点...或许是因为“魔法山”这个俗气的名字实际上提供了更美的景色,但这是个人喜好。
上山大约需要 30-45 米,中间有一些休息时间,因为天气炎热,难度大 :) 下山的更简单路线大约需要 30 米左右,而且容易得多 - 两条路都有长椅,在通往山顶的路上都可以欣赏到一些风景。
在山下,您可以买到一些纪念品或食物/奶昔/冰沙,隔壁还有另一家提供食物和优质冰淇淋的商店,名为 Fare Tutava(单独评论),我们去了两次 :)
