There are lots of adventures in Bora Bora, from the culture to mountain adventures to the jungle and the waters like having a swim with dolphins! Yes, you heard me, swimming with dolphins! An excursion on the Island of Tahaa will reveal to you to a variety of fishes you have never imagined. Heck, you won’t even remember to switch on the television in your room. Or you could just want to lounge on a water deck and sip cocktails while you watch the stars shine like diamonds in the blue sky at night. It all depends on the resort that you choose. Please note that if you like to lounge naked, Bora Bora Island isn’t the place for that because the villas there are mostly bungalows and thus do not ensure total privacy from other neighbors.
The cuisines in the resorts and hotels in Bora Bora Island are simple, although they are highly priced. But you have the option of escaping the expensive hotels and resorts to go local at Vaitape, the principal village, to keep within budget. The food is fresh, locally sourced but without the luxury of much variation, although the French influence complements the local cuisines. Bora Bora Yatch Club and La Villa Mahana are the highest rated restaurants on the island. I personally also enjoyed Latitude 16. Check them out by clicking the links below.
Top of the list on the excursion tours around the Bora Bora are snorkeling tours around the signature lagoon where you get to experience different fish species, sting rays inclusive, a jet-ski tour on the clear waters that surround Bora Bora l, and an ATV tour around the island which you you can decide to end with a dinner at St. James restaurant. Fun all the way!!!
In all, if you want the adventure that comes with such a paradise to make forever memories, visit Bora Bora Island. Do not forget to take a phone with a good camera with you, because, trust me, you will wish you did if you don’t.
