Why you should travel to Maupiti instead of Bora Bora? / Polynesia Trip Summary
Maupiti is a unique island in French Polynesia. People say it's like the Bora Bora in the 60s... No fancy hotels, you will most likely stay at locals, experiencing their simple and chilled life. The island is also the home of many manta rays and other beautiful marine creatures. It is definitely worth the trouble to take the longer flight, off the beaten path.

This is Maupiti, the most beautiful island in French Polynesia and the world! I've asked many people where their favorite island is, and Maupiti kept coming up, so naturally, I had to see it for myself!
Jen and I spent one glorious week exploring Maupiti island and are totally convinced that paradise on earth exists. We stayed with locals, swam with manta rays and stingrays, explored the eccentric shell house (a must-see!). Watch to see it for yourself and let me know in the comments if you'd like to visit someday!

MAUPITI FRENCH POLYNESIA - POLYNÉSIE FRANÇAISE 2023
#frenchpolynesia #tahiti #polynésiefrançaise Music : Mac Miller / Orelsan / Plaid
Maupiti, the best place during our trip. Not so many flights to get there and limited amount of tourists.
No fancy hotels or mass tourism as in Bora Bora.
If one place must be visited within les îles Sous-le-vent, it is that one for sure.
Better plan well in advance...
It was also the place where we met so many great people and have & shared the nicest times during our trip.

Lobster on the grill full prep - French Polynesia Maupiti 4K
Welcome to Maupiti If you watch videos in my channel you know this is not the first video from French Polinesia and in many occasions people are asking me what did you do there? they are saying im not sure I would like to go there for vacations becasue its in the middle of nowhere and nothing to do. how the people make a living ? The answers are easy but hard to understand for some people because the living is so divert from the rest of the world. This video is going to show you little part of my regular day in Maupiti. You wake up in the morning and sun is giving you electricity. Sea is giving you food, you just need to go fishing.
My favourite sea food is lobster. In other part of the world lobster is very expensive and rare to buy fresh, here lobster is a day by day manu option. Im living with this family here in airbnb house, link in the description below. perhaps you want to come here one day. They offer to prepare the food for me but I really like to do it myself. I like cooking overall but my best thing to cook is lobster.
In this video you are gong to see how easy is it to prepare. In the comment section below tell me how do you liker to prepare your type of lobster. please subscribe, like and share the video. Also if you like follow me on my instagram.
The vain I just remove is only one part you should not eat. Of course the meat is the best part but you can also eat the internal organs which im removing, I just don’t find them tasty. The lobster has got brain which is like gel, I’m going to clean it out soon too. Some people Bol the lobsters before grilling but I prefer to grill it with a lot of butter which makes it nice and tender.
The host of the house is Oliwia and her husband is going fishing in to this waters twice a day, in the morning he is catching lunch and in the afternoon fishing for the dinner. apart that he need to look after the house thats his day by day duty.
Im using a lot of garlic, I know its not the best for kissing but is great for your health because it is a natural antibiotic. When you squeeze butter between the meat and the shell I guarantee you the lobster will be moist and soft. Im in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and im really lucky today, I have cold beer which is not easy to get here. The most important in making perfect lobster is to calculate the time of grilling, this one is around 1 Kg/ 2 pounds and I will grill it for about 10 minutes.
My next video is going to be the last one from Maupiti you will see how easy is to catch dinner going from a to b. I will also show you this unique Maupiti airport which is located on the small island.
Welcome to Maupiti If you watch videos in my channel you know this is not the first video from French Polinesia

Hidden Island Paradise in French Polynesia
What's the most beautiful Island in French Polynesia?
Most people go to Bora Bora or Tahiti, or even Rangiroa, but I found something even better.
This atoll is known for shark diving, Manta rays, and one long stretch of island that is so thin, you can see from the Pacific to the lagoon just by turning your head. Under 900 people live there, and it's perfect, with one of the most beautiful beaches I've ever seen!
Watch to see if you can catch the name!

Maupiti Island - Sailing to Bora Bora's little sister in French Polynesia - on a catamaran
If you want to watch the other videos from our sailing trip to French Polynesia, click on the links below:
Bora Bora:
Taha'a and Raiatea:
This video is the second part of our sailing trip to the French Polynesia Islands. After sailing to Bora Bora, we then sailed our catamaran to Maupiti Island. Maupiti is Bora Bora's little sister and is a lot less developped than Bora Bora. No hotel, no overwater bungalow, but the true untouched Polynesian culture and super friendly islanders.
Maupiti is the Western most Leeward Island that you can easily sail to from Raiatea or Bora Bora. Like Bora Bora, it is also a volcanic island and surrounded by a barrier reef with a beautiful lagoon with turquoise blue water. It is a great spot to observe Manta Rays, although this is not a year-round activity. There is also great snorkeling with corral, sting rays, leopard rays, and all kinds of tropical fish. We rented bikes to travel all around Maupiti, from Vai'ea all the way to Terei'a Beach. We also hiked on top of Mt Teurafaatiu and had an amazing view of Maupiti, the lagoon, the barrier reef, and all the motus surrounding the main island.
The sail to Maupiti can be difficult because there is only one pass to enter the lagoon and, depending on the wind direction or the size of the swell, you might sail all the way to Maupiti, only to find out that you cannot safely go through the pass. But we were lucky to have beautiful weather while in Maupiti and the catamaran sail from Bora Bora and back was easy.

Maupiti Magic - French Polynesia's best kept secret! Vlog 80
We had never heard of the little known paradise that is Maupiti in French Polynesia. Visiting here is like traveling back in time, there's no big resorts, bars or tourists, just pristine water and coral, friendly locals and stunning beaches. Not many yachts visit here because the pass faces the prevailing swell and is just a tiny gap between reefs with massive constant waves - getting through here even in the ideal conditions we had was perhaps one of the scariest things we have faced on Nikau! Once inside the reef though you are truly in an untouched paradise, we got to enjoy one of our absolute favourite activities - sunset beach BBQ! We also found the local coral gardens and saw some of the most pristine coral we have seen to date! In this episode we also take you on an exploration of the town and beaches via land and drone - enjoy!
We are the Robbins family sailing on our boat named Nikau.
We are a family of 5. Our 3 kids are doing NZ correspondence school on board. They are growing to love it! What's not to love about 3 hours of school a day and then a different playground for the afternoon every day!
We've traveled from New Zealand to Sardinia in Italy to pick up our boat and we plan over a few seasons to sail her back to New Zealand.
We hope you enjoy following us on our adventures!
Thanks and enjoy.

MAUPITI: LIKE BORA BORA 50 YEARS AGO | Around The World in 80 Islands | Polynesia Travel Guide
The travel guide to POLYNESIA!
Between the precious islands that make up the Polynesian archipelago, our journey takes us to Maupiti, an island free from luxury resorts, where we can dive and immerse ourselves in this authentic local beauty. Surrounded by five motu, that is to say smaller islands, Maupiti is like Bora Bora 50 years ago: beautiful, wild and pure.
Our cameras continue to search for breath-taking landscapes, dreamy lagoons, fields of fruits, sacred places, strips of sand with tall palms and spectacular reefs, inhabited by sting-rays and gigantic eagle-rays. Diving, here in Maupiti, is really special: as well as the grey shark nursery, there is unlimited and very clear visibility. Boundless and unique.
