City break in Manihi. Active leisure ideas for Manihi - attractions, recreation and nightlife
Manihi is a perfect place for tourists who prefer calm holidays alone with pure nature. In general, the atoll can’t be called an overpopulated one – just about 800 people inhabit it, many of them live in the central village. So, if you just want to walk around the local forests or get to secluded beaches not encountering anybody on your way there, it’s a pretty easy task to complete. Most locals have no cars or motorbikes, so there is no such problem as a lack of walking paths – there is a whole system of roads that connects all the island’s human settlements and peculiar natural objects.
It's hard to call Manihi a densely populated territory. The last census showed that just about 800 people inhabit the island, and the main activity here is still fishing just like it was …

One more entertainment here is to have a trip to the adjacent islands. The best option is to rent a motorboat with a driver or a simple boat and rule it yourself. There is a bunch of little islands near Manihi, most of them are totally deserted. Nobody would interrupt you from pretending a Robinson Crusoe for a couple of days, so you can literally escape from the civilization if you have such mood.

At the same time, people who are keen on snorkelling and diving should vice versa appreciate corals. You can snorkel anywhere you’d like – local waters have rich marine wildlife, that is why it won’t be boring swimming here. You can ask about the best points in dive-centres.

Attractions and entertainment in French Polynesia
Lovers of walking tours should go to Tahiti, in the community of Mahina, on a walking tour with “Aito Rando”. Tourists may have a hard time, if they originally expected a light walk. A walk along the shortest route lasts almost seven hours. Therefore, for those who have already been on such excursions or want to try, this tour will present a lot of positive emotions. On the way through the valley, travelers will meet small rivers and ponds. In some places, you will also be required to do some climbing. On Bora Bora there is a very popular route that you can navigate on your own. Pahia Mountain attracts the strongest and bravest, because the road is very steep, and climbing the mountain will take a whole day. The view from the top of the mountain is however worth the effort.
