Fodor's Expert Review Pension Marau

Maupiti, Leeward Islands, French Polynesia

This ocean-side pension is a hit with surfers and those who like their holidays to come with an adrenaline rush. The owner of this small place will teach you how to kite surf—a fast-moving sport similar to snowboarding where you're attached to a harness and hang onto what looks like a parasail. Each bungalow can accommodate five people and the bathrooms are spacious but there's no hot water. Meals are available on a half-board and full-board basis.
