About Bora Bora

Bora Bora is the epitome of tropical luxury—a tiny island surrounded by a coral reef and lagoon of impossible turquoise. Overwater bungalows with glass floors offer 24/7 views of fish and rays. Mount Otemanu rises majestically behind. The lagoon is protected and calm, perfect for snorkeling. Shark encounters (harmless blacktip sharks) are common and thrilling. The island is small—circumnavigable by boat in hours. The culture is Polynesian—relaxed, welcoming, and community-focused. Bora Bora is expensive but justifiably so: the scenery is incomparable, the diving exceptional, and the experience transcendent.
