Maupiti (April 24-26)

Maupiti is the smallest and furthest west of the main Society Islands. Unfortunately, the flight schedule of Air Tahiti meant we had the choice of spending a day or a week there. We opted for a day. Kuriri Village is located on Motu Tiapaa, a barrier island on the southeast part of the atoll.
