Maupiti Magic - French Polynesia's best kept secret! Vlog 80

We had never heard of the little known paradise that is Maupiti in French Polynesia. Visiting here is like traveling back in time, there's no big resorts, bars or tourists, just pristine water and coral, friendly locals and stunning beaches. Not many yachts visit here because the pass faces the prevailing swell and is just a tiny gap between reefs with massive constant waves - getting through here even in the ideal conditions we had was perhaps one of the scariest things we have faced on Nikau! Once inside the reef though you are truly in an untouched paradise, we got to enjoy one of our absolute favourite activities - sunset beach BBQ! We also found the local coral gardens and saw some of the most pristine coral we have seen to date! In this episode we also take you on an exploration of the town and beaches via land and drone - enjoy! We are the Robbins family sailing on our boat named Nikau. We are a family of 5. Our 3 kids are doing NZ correspondence school on board. They are growing to love it! What's not to love about 3 hours of school a day and then a different playground for the afternoon every day! We've traveled from New Zealand to Sardinia in Italy to pick up our boat and we plan over a few seasons to sail her back to New Zealand. We hope you enjoy following us on our adventures! Thanks and enjoy.
