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.
