Bora Bora

Bora Bora is a paradise isle in one of French Polynesia's five archipelagos in the South Pacific.

Only a handful of the surrounding islands are peopled and the motus which pepper the azure sea are quintessential desert islands, perfect for private barbecues, beach parties and Tahitian weddings.

Watersports, fishing, snorkelling and yachting are regular activities while guided tours and excursions offer insights into native life.
