The
Island of Bora Bora |
|
Tahiti: FOR
GOLFERS |
The Gorgeous Lagoon at Bora Bora is splashed with nature's magical mix of blues and greens. Here you will fall in love. Countless are the honeymooners, romantics and lovers of the World who have gazed upon the lagoon. Castle-like Mount Otemmanu stands guard over the surroundings, somehow adding a sense of peace and tranquility. Gracious white sand beaches fade into turqoise waters which fade into the vast South Pacific Ocean. This has to be the most romantic place on Earth!
Bora Bora
|
Aerial Tours "Flightseeing" excursions over Bora Bora are possible via Heli Inter-Polynesie and Heli-Pacific. Passengers fly to the top of Mt. Pahia, and have the option of hiking back down on foot or returning by chopper. The air service also charters flights to other islands. |
Bora Bora name came from ancient times when it was call Pora Pora, meaning "First Born". Captain Cook mistook the name for Bora Bora and that is what non-natives call it today. |
| The placid waters that surround Bora Bora are perfect for sailing vessels. You can charter your own yacht, hire a crew for a full or half day. | Bora Bora is a perfect haven for those who love 4 by 4 treking. The interior harbors jungle roads that lead the lucky few to high panoramic vistas. You can even see the large naval guns left unused by the end of the Second World War. |
Shark and Ray Feeding
Although the idea of feeding live hungry sharks may sound a little dangerous it is now immensely popular in Polynesia. It all started in Bora Bora, years ago. First you don your snorkel and mask and float in the shallow lagoon waters behind a fixed rope. Docile sharks arrive in schools and are hand-fed by the guides. The ritual is repeated with Manta Rays!
The famous artist Guaguin loved Tahiti and so will you. He ended his days here but not before sharing his vision of he beauty of Tahiti with the rest of the World.
