Bora Bora
 

Bora Bora

Mystical, mythical Bora Bora is renowned for its spectacular scenery, romance and a brilliant blue lagoon and reef that James Michener hailed the most beautiful in the world. The island is an extinct volcano that formed two towering black peaks on the center of the island. Many yacht charter visitors are drawn to the central lagoon, famed as a great dive site filled with a variety of sharks, rays, and tropical fish. Those seeking expansive beaches will be disappointed as there are relatively few beaches. It’s the stunning lagoon, Bora Bora’s treasured feature, that draws charter yacht visitors to swim, snorkel, dive, windsurf and jetski.

Other activities include a visit to Tiki Village, where yacht charter tourists can see traditional Polynesia in an authentically recreated village. Visitors will see the making of the crowns of flowers called hei as well as tattooing, carving and paraeo painting. The village also showcases a spectacular Polynesian dance and an island feast in the celebration of the tamaiaraia. For a once in a lifetime thrill, view shark feeding close up on the outer reef. Using a snorkel and flippers visitors enter the water while Tahitian divers hand feed back-tip sharks. Helicopter sightseeing tours are available to view the mult-hued lagoon and lushly forested interior. It’s awonderful opportunity to closely look at Mount Otemanu.

Tranquility on Bora Bora

"People really do wear flowers in their hair and play the ukulele, and everyone is nice. I think Bora Bora is now our favorite island. We spent hours in the huge lagoon snorkeling and swimming."
