|  | A spot of beauty between earth and sea, Bora Bora reveals its secrets to the discerning visitor.
On land...
From the tropical coast of Otemanu to hibiscus-filled valleys, the lower areas of the island flaunt their lushness. At a bend in the ridge road or a bay, your eyes are drawn to the infinite horizon, stretching beyond the narrow fringe of motus and islands.
On water...
Circle the island in a dugout canoe. Fully exposed to the sun, the bays display their depths in a delirous display of shades of blue. Then cross the crystal-clear lagoon to the motus. From these sandy islets fringed with coconut palms, the view of the island is indescribably stunning. |

Walk or bike around the island looking for the ancient sites of worship called marae or the Tiare anci, the native plant that flowers at the foot of Mount Otemanu.
The coral garden
In this life-size aquarium, explore the world's most beautiful lagoon. Schools of yellow butterfly, emperor and other exotic fish will be on hand to greet you.
Horse riding
In the moonlight, astride a Marquesas Island horse, splash through the silvery reflections in the lagoon all the way to Motu Rora. |
