You climb into a rugged 4x4 as the island unfolds: jagged volcanic ridges rise like folded pages, coconut palms lean toward the lagoon, and the wind carries the tang of sea and pineapple. The first view from Belvedere is blunt and immediate — Cook’s Bay and Opunohu Bay split the coast below, with Motu islets dotting a turquoise rim.
