Bora-Bora

A world-famous resort island, where Mount Otemanu and overwater bungalows in a blue lagoon are symbols of the South Pacific.

Bora-Bora is a commune in the Leeward Islands of French Polynesia, made up mainly of the island of Bora Bora. Mount Otemanu rises from the center of the main island, which is surrounded by a wide lagoon and a ring of coral islets, and many high-end resorts build their overwater bungalows around these islets. Visitors can take boat trips on the lagoon, snorkel with rays and sharks, or ride a 4WD up the mountain for the views. May–Oct is drier and is the peak season. The airport is on an islet in the lagoon; the domestic flight from Tahiti takes about 50 minutes, after which you take a boat to the main island or your hotel.
