Bora
Bora
"The
Pearl of the Pacific," as baptized by Captain Cook, bears the
magic of the most beautiful island in French Polynesia. Rising
up from the ocean over three million years ago, Bora Bora in
Tahitian means "first born." One of its most striking features
is its large volcanic rock formations that tower at the center
of the island. This is an awe-inspiring backdrop for an already
breathtaking view. Bora Bora's pristine lagoon is another one
of its prized features, offering some of the most amazing snorkeling
and scuba diving adventures to be experienced anywhere in the
world.
In this vast lagoon, there is only one navigable pass, which
faces the main village of Vaitape. More than 5,000 American
servicemen were stationed on Bora Bora during World War II.
The G.I.s constructed the airport that is still in use today
and also inspired the romantic musical, South Pacific.

Bora has kept its traditional way of life, which you will encounter
in the Polynesian architecture, casual lifestyle, music and
dance. Compared to other island destinations, Bora Bora is by
far one of the most revered locations. Unlike other island vacation
spots, hotels are small and intimate--no mega high-rise resorts.
Bora Bora offers a fantastic variety of activities. In addition
to just about every water sport imaginable, there is horseback
riding, 4 x 4 land safaris, private motu picnics, visits to
ancient archaeological sites, and hiking that will take you
off the beaten path. Choose between land and boat excursions
to view the beautiful sights from a new perspective. Traveling
around the island full-circle by land or water is the best way
to make sure you don't miss any of the spectacular views this
stunning island has to offer, Trust in eTravelBound to help
arrange these once-in-a-lifetime activities and more.
