Maupiti, the secret island, the small Bora Bora

As a secluded and charming island, Maupiti is reminiscent of Bora Bora in the 1960s. It is the smallest of the Society islands but features a paradise-like scenic getaway. Just like neighboring Bora Bora, Maupiti is a combination of mountains and atolls.
