French Polynesia
/ Island ou Atoll / Maupiti

Located 40km west of Bora-Bora, Maupiti is one of the last remaining high islands in the Society archipelago. This small island of 11km², isolated and still very authentic, has just 1200 inhabitants. A short 2h30 hike takes you to an exceptional panorama, offering a 360° view of the whole island (caution for those prone to vertigo!). On the seaward side, the cleaning station, populated by manta rays, offers a magnificent spectacle. The airport is located on a motu just off the main island, and transfers are organized by the guesthouses and a permanent shuttle service. As far as accommodation is concerned, there are no hotels on the island! So you'll have to choose from one of the 17 guesthouses on the island.
