Maupiti lives mostly from watermelon and coprah agriculture
produced on motus. It is accessible by plane from Papeete (Air Tahiti) with
3 weekly flights via Bora Bora or Raiatea. A shuttle boat – the
Maupiti Express – linking Bora Bora to Maupiti is also available twice a
week.
Maupiti lagoon also features amazing snorkeling spots. Check
the one between motus Tiapaa and Pitiahe (beware of currents !)
A 3-hour walk to the peak of mount Teurafaatui will let you admire an
unforgettable panorama over the lagoon with Bora Bora island in the
background and, when the weather permits, even Raiatea and Tahaa.
