“Alta pea pea,” the famed Tahitian saying, is the motto on Bora Bora. It means “not to worry,” and once you arrive in this French Polynesian paradise, you’ll see why. The relaxed pace of life on Bora Bora is one of the most charming things about the Tahitian island.

Covered in wild tropical jungle profuse with birdsong, Bora Bora is also surrounded by a crystal-clear turquoise lagoon and magnificent barrier reef. This island offers scuba, snorkeling, swimming, and boating that is simply unmatched anywhere in the South Pacific. A wonderful, leisurely way to see Bora Bora is by “fun car” or bicycle, circumnavigating the island while marveling at the views of turquoise waters and outlying motu, or coral atolls, from Bora Bora’s coastal road. A trail to the summit of Mt. Pahia also provides enthusiastic visitors with a chance to enjoy unique, 360-degree views of this magnificent idyll.

Even better views are available from the sites of seven WWII naval cannons, remnants of American use of Bora Bora as a naval supply base. It is well known on the island that, at the end of the war, many of the 5,000 Americans stationed in this paradise simply refused to leave! Bora Bora’s amazing underwater seascape offers a wonderful kaleidoscope of manta rays, sea turtles, barracuda, moray eels, dolphins, lemon sharks and more. Meanwhile, visitors between August and October will witness an astounding natural event that sets Bora Bora apart from all other islands in French Polynesia: the migration of the humpbacked whales.

The magical experience of watching a school of bat rays skim above the white sand on the ocean’s floor, or that of seeing giant sea turtles floating along, deep under the cerulean water, simply can’t be matched. Bora Bora is equipped with several highly regarded scuba companies that provide training, underwater tours, and underwater cameras and video equipment. Their shallow lagoon dives are perfect for beginners, while deep sites for certified divers include chances to swim among stunning coral, four kinds of sharks, and dolphins.

Whether your trip to Bora Bora is a sightseeing tour of underwater canyons, a photographic adventure among tropical fish, or a cultural exploration of quaint bungalows and friendly locals, you will find Bora Bora the ultimate destination for relaxation among some of the most beautiful natural sights this planet has to offer.
