Beaches
Bora Bora Lagoon is one of the most tranquil in the Pacific Ocean. It is ideal for couples and those that are looking for a calm beautiful retreat away from their busy working life. The Island is very couples' orientated but that's not saying you can't take the family too, with its turquoise warm waters and soft white sand beach. There are many activities along the Lagoon for those that don't want to laze around relaxing, reading a book or topping up their golden tan under the coconut trees. There are numerous water sports like diving, snorkeling and scuba diving in the warm waters. You will also find that there are jet skis and parasailing for those wanting activities that are fast and thrilling.
Sightseeing
It is a must while you're staying in Bora Bora. Try the swimming with the sharks' excursion, what an experience not to be missed. It's not something you can do in many places around the world, but if you want something a little less daring then a leisurely walk along to the coral reefs this is for you. Here you can watch the divers feeding the sharks and grab rays by hand. The views are magnificent around the Island and there are plenty of photo opportunities in every direction when you take a 4x4 jeep tour. Or for something a little more tranquil perhaps for a romantic couple, hiring a boat and sailing around the island on the calm waters by sunset is very panoramic. Visit the ancient archaeological sites, they are quite impressive, like the Marae mysterious rock piles. Unfortunately most of the temples were destroyed by missionaries in the last century, but you will find perched around the island 7 costal guns left from World War II. There are some small museums and galleries to visit. Horseback riding excursions are also a very popular way to see the island at a leisurely pace. After exploring this beautiful island, relax in the spa, being pampered with a traditional calming massage.
Night life
If you're looking for loud and vibrant nightclubs then Bora Bora is not the place for you, the island does have some bars that the younger locals regularly use, which play reggae, funk and upbeat music. Most of the night life is focused around the hotels and restaurants, while you enjoy a meal and a cocktail with the other guests.
Eating
Traditional cuisine on the island has French, Polynesian and Asian influences; freshly cooked fish and Lobster is regularly served, but I must warn you eating out in Bora Bora is quite expensive, even the local mobile food carts selling international snacks like omelettes, noodles and burgers are expensive. So, if you're on a budget, try buying your items from the supermarket and cooking them yourself in catering accommodation, it is far more economical.
Shopping
Traditional hand crafted souvenirs are readily available around the small island and there are a few very nice boutiques for something a little more special to take home from this tranquil Island, perhaps you fancy a black pearl. The popular and colourful markets, selling local delicacies and tropical fruits, and the local flea market are always pleasurable to visit and are a place where you can chat to the very friendly local people.
Happy Holidays.
