Bora Bora - Day 32

Our arrival in Bora Bora (Vaitape), French Polynesia. Our excursion today is a motorboat cruise through the crystal turquoise blue lagoon waters of Bora Bora. There were breath taking views of the rocky green Mount Otemanu. This 15 square mile island (of the Society Island group) is considered the most beautiful in the world. This stunning South Pacific island is made up of a barrier reef of inlets, each one connected to the next depending on the tides. The island is surrounded by countless shades of turquoise waters, and is covered with a palm tree lined shore. There are a plethora of colorful tropical fish, turtles, sting ray and we passed the trademark water stilted bungalows that provide visitors with an island experience of a lifetime. The forested slopes lead up to Mt. Otemanu which peaks at 2,379 feet. James Michener’s book South Pacific captures the essence of the area.Read more
