BORA BORA LUXURY HOLIDAYS
Superlatives are missing to describe the beauty of Bora Bora, the "Pearl of the Pacific". The most famous of the Leeward Islands occupies a surface of 38 km2 and is located 280 km north-west of Tahiti, just under one hour away by plane from Papeete. Your arrival at Bora Bora will definitely leave you with one of the nicest souvenirs of your trip: the airport being located on an islet, your flight will be followed by a short boat ride over the lagoon along the numerous islets. Bora Bora (or Pora Poraâ) emerged from the waters 3 millions years ago. Like all the other Polynesian islands, this volcanic island slowly sinking in the ocean.It currently presents particular geological characteristics ranging in between a high island and an atoll status. Its unforgettable turquoise lagoon - where a multi-colour aquatic fauna (sting & manta rays, sharks, tropical fishes) can be observed by outrigger canoe, boat or diving explorations- is born from the slow decline of its main volcano - Mount Otemanu (727m) - doubled by the legendary Mount Pahia (626m). The coral reef includes a string of islets (motu One, motu Mute, motu Piti Aau) and gorgeous white sand beaches surrounding the main island. The unique pass of Teavanui between the ocean and the lagoon faces the main village of Vaitape located on the western coast of the island. The west coast presents 2 bays: Faanui and Poofai.
