jirikoo 06:53 UTC 03 Dec 2007 | Im heading to Tahiti probably for 14 days. My rough itinerary is as follows: Tahiti - Papeete Tahiti Ini Moorea (by ferry) Maupiti (by air or ferry?) - is this island worth? Bora Bora (by air or ferry?) Tahiti (by air or ferry) I give in this is the exact copy of an itinerary from LP Tahiti guide book. What is in question is if it is a good idea and what means of transport I should use between islands. More over, is island Maupiti indeed worthwhile? thank you |

There is a passenger ferry boat from Bora Bora to Maupiti, but you can also take the plane. As far as I know, the small ferry needs good weather because the passage through the reef of Maupiti is narrow. Maupiti itself is small and untouristy. Enjoy your trip to these gorgeous islands! | 1

Part of what made it so nice, was our pension: http://www.maupiti-kuriri.com/default_en.htm Looked like the ferry to Bora Bora would be quite an adventure. We went by plane. frankB | 2
