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.

Definitely, but Maupiti is the island which provides the most similar experience to Bora Bora specifically. They’re close to each other and have had strong historical cultural links. For example, if someone was more into lush vegetation, mountainous, cultural stuff, I’d recommend Huahine. Tahaa has the vanilla and pearls. Etc. Different islands have different things going for them.
This may be a dumb questions, but are there mosquitoes in the vegetation zones in islands in the middle of the ocean like Huahine?
The warmer zones here in Colombia tend to have lots of vegetation, and also tons of mosquitoes but well, we are in the middle of a continental mass.
The islands do have mosquitoes; their peak is during the wet season (December-March) + dawn/dusk.
There are mosquitoes most definitely. https://www.mosquito-forecast.org/en/forecast/french-polynesia/maupiti
