Bora Bora
Bora Bora is the most famous of the Leeward Islands – is located 280 km north-west of Tahiti, just under one hour away by plane.
Superlatives are missing to describe the beauty of Bora Bora, the “Pearl of the Pacific”, with its sharp relief and turquoise waters where a multi-color aquatic fauna (sting & manta rays, sharks, tropical fishes …) can be observed by outrigger canoe, boat or diving explorations.
Your arrival at Bora Bora will definitely leave you with one of the nicest memories of your trip : the airport being located on an islet (also called “motu”), your flight will be followed by a short boat ride over the lagoon along the numerous islets – that welcome those delightful deluxe resorts with their famous overwater bungalows – before reaching the village of Vaitape for those of you lodging on the main island
