I went in Bora Bora for my honeymoon, during the month of July, last year, and we stayed there for 9 nights (after 2 nights in Tahiti).

Bora Bora is a small island in French Polynesia, Pacific, at 40 minutes by plane from Tahiti. It's beauty consist in natural, fantastic landscapes, combining the perfect shades of blue from the ocean with the emerald color of the mountain Otemanu, that stands in the middle of the island.

Bora Bora island is possibly the single most famous island in all the world. The legends, mysteries, and romance associated with the words "Bora Bora" bring an almost mystical presence to the island.

Bora bora is truly an experience worth having. A wonderfully relaxing place to be as well as a great island for you to experience, your Bora Bora vacation will never be forgotten.

What to do

In Bora Bora you can't get bored, that's for sure! You can choose from a large variety of activities such as:

* Relaxation: lying by the beach (at your hotel, or at Matira beach, the only public beach in Bora Bora), motu picnics, private lagoons sightseeing, helicoptere rides, submarines underwater adventure, traditional tahitian dance shows and many many other things to get away from the stresses of life.

We only went to the hotel beach, and that's because we stayed at Le Meridien, situated on a private islet (motu in Polynesian), with a perfect sand beach facing Mount Otemanu). We didn't do any private lagoon sightseeing or motu picnics, although i am sure romantic, seemed quite expensive and not that interesting to us.
The helicopter ride was also pretty expensive (400 euros for 15 minutes), but it was worth it, because we could see the entire Bora Bora lagoon from above. We shared the helicopter with another couple; there were 3 seats on the back, and one in front, near the pilot. My husband was the lucky one to seat in front, so he had a better view and could film the entire ride.
The submarine was another thing not to be missed. Pretty interesting, we even came across a couple of scuba divers under the water. We waved at them, and they responded back...nice!
As for Tahitian dance shows, Le Meridien organized 2 shows on the beach during our stay, with traditional dances and music... very enjoyable. One night they even organized a teaching class, to learn us how to dance polynesian-style. It was only for men, but my husband will kill me if i publish a picture from that evening :).

* Water sports: jet ski rentals, scuba diving (one of the best places in the world),
