Bora Bora

Features: The jewel of the South Pacific, Bora Bora is the most famous island in Polynesia. This tiny idyllic island offers the finest lagoons and beaches in all of the Society Islands. Bora Bora's Mt. Otemanu rises sharply out of a sparkling turquoise lagoon. World class resorts are well separated and offer some the finest accommodations in these islands. The massive lagoon is teeming with countless brightly colored fish, playful dolphin and leaping manta rays. To paddle a canoe in Bora Bora is easily one of the most memorable experiences you can have.



Sofitel Motu
Sofitel Motu sits on the south coast of Bora Bora along a coral garden. Situated on its own private Motu, each of the hotel's 30 bungalows has a breathtaking view of Bora Bora and its famous lagoon.

Shark Feeding
No visit to Bora Bora is complete without this exhilarating and unforgettable experience. You will be taken to the outer reef and slip into the water (with your snorkeling gear on) and watch Tahitian divers hand feed reef sharks right before your eyes.

Helicopter Sightseeing
Fly over Bora Bora's multi-colored lagoon and lush interior to get a closer look at Mt. Otemanu, which no one has ever been able to climb. Few adjectives can describe the beauty of Bora Bora seen from the air.

Jeep Safari
Travel off the beaten track on this four wheel drive adventure. Climb to impressive heights and discover sacred sites in Bora Bora's seldom seen interior.

Catamaran Charter
Set sail for a relaxing afternoon aboard the deluxe 50 ft. Tara Vana or escape for two days giving yourself over to the trade winds in search of the perfect motu.

Circle the Island Tour
Board a motorized outrigger canoe to view Bora Bora at its best. This lagoon excursion provides incredible views and stops at perfect motu beaches. Snorkeling stops will be made throughout the day.

Scuba Diving
As in the rest of the Society Islands, scuba diving in Bora Bora is excellent. Predominantly hard coral gardens are often full of schooling butterfly fish as well as other exotic tropicals. The underwater visibility in Bora Bora is exceptional year round. There are excellent opportunities to dive with manta rays, dolphins and reef sharks.
