Maupiti: The Untouched Gem of Polynesia

#snorkeling Maupiti: The Untouched Gem of Polynesia 📍 Address: Maupiti Island, Leeward Islands, French Polynesia (about 40 km west of Bora Bora) Maupiti is a serene, unspoiled paradise where time seems to slow down. Known for its crystal-clear turquoise lagoon, white sandy beaches, and welcoming local community, this small island offers an authentic slice of Polynesian life without the crowds or luxury resorts. A dream for snorkelers, hikers, and those seeking true tranquility. ✨ Tips: • Snorkel with manta rays in the lagoon — one of the island’s highlights. • Hike Mount Teurafaatiu for breathtaking 360° views (start early to avoid the heat). • Visit Tereia Beach and paddle to nearby motus for a private beach escape. • There are no big hotels — stay at family-run pensions and book early. • Bring cash, as ATMs are limited. Biking or walking is the best way to explore. #maupiti #polynesianparadise #hiddengem #lagoonlife #mantarays #slowtravel #islandescape #frenchpolynesia #authenticpolynesia #tropicaldream#trip #localguides #familytrip #海岛游
