Escaping Tahiti & Moorea | Sailing to Maupiti
After the busy tourist energy of Tahiti and Moorea, we were itching to get moving—so in this episode, we sail west to Maupiti, a more peaceful island in French Polynesia. ⛵️ We anchor in the lagoon, hike a rugged mountain for breathtaking panoramic views, swim in crystal-clear tropical water, and experience the slower, quieter side of island life. Compared to Tahiti and Moorea, Maupiti feels calm, remote, and refreshingly uncrowded. This is real sailing life in French Polyne
