BORA BORA
Bora Bora, with a lagoon of turquoise waters resembling an artist’ palette of bright blues and greens. Romantics from around the world appreciate Bora Bora, the lush tropical slopes, and valleys of Mount Otemanu blossom with hibiscus, palm-covered motu circle the illuminated lagoon. The perfect white-sand Bora Bora beaches leading to Matira Point give way to blue waters where tropical colored fish animate the coral gardens and giant manta rays glide leisurely past.
