Maupiti is what Bora Bora used to be before it became overly touristy - more authentic, secluded, and affordable. I say this as a Maupiti native.

It’s crazy that people live here, I can’t even imagine being surrounded by such beauty 24/7 what’s it like?
Is the Island accessible by sailboat?
It’s incredibly remote, flying from the US it’ll take you about 24 hours to set foot on Bora Bora proper but you’ll be in Tahiti in like ~18 hours if you leave from the west coast, so no it’s definitely not accessible basically at all, but you can boat between the islands to a degree once you get there. The ancient Polynesians and their methods for crossing vast distances over water truly are awe inspiring.
