For everybody who are in search of a tropical paradise, with white sandy beaches and crystal blue ocean, Bora Bora is the right place to be.
This small island, placed in the middle of Pacific is one of the most romantic places on Earth and a perfect choice for a honeymoon vacation. First people who found a home amongst these romantic surroundings were the Polynesian settlers who came around 4th century AD.
With the rest of the French Polynesia, this island has been one of the Earth’s best kept secrets, and among the last teritories settled by humans. Today Bora Bora is a vibrant island and a great place to say Ia Ora na! (Hello!) to French Polynesia.
Crystal Clear Ocean
When it comes to romantic scenery, there’s no place like Bora Bora. The island has several lagoons that are protected from outside waters, which makes them perfect for swiming, diving and cuddling on white sandy beaches. These lagoons are filled with marine wildlife which is a perfect oppurtunity for professional divers, but also for beginners who are able to take diving lessons and dive together with their instructors.
There are plenty of great locations for youir first dive in the crystal blue waters of this isolated island. No matter which lagoon you choose, you are sure going to see a lot of different sea species you’ve never seen before. There are also companies that organize snorkeling trips, and take you further off the coast. A dive for two in this amazing under-water environment is definitely one of the most romantic things a newly wed couple can do which you will remeber for the rest of your life. Don’t blame yourself if after reading all this you have an inexplicable urge to book some of the Bora Bora honeymoon packages, but stay focused because this tropical paradise has more love to offer.
Heart and Soul of Bora Bora
On this island is not all about the sea and the waves. Bora Bora has a wonderful nature, with Mt Pahia rising from it and offering great hiking opportunities. You can also walk around this 20 miles long island or rent a jeep and visit some hidden pearls on the Bora Bora map. Did we mentioned pearls? An ideal present to bring home from this magnificent island are the black pearls taken from the most isolated lagoons on the island. Also don’t forget to try tasty traditional food from French Polynesia which includes plenty of exotic fruits and vegetables combined with fresh meat, fish and sea food. Music and a local Polynesian culture are also some of the things you will enjoy while visiting this island. Because on Bora Bora everything dances in the sound of ’Upa ’Upa.
