One of the most romantic Pacific islands is often compared to paradise on earth. A beautiful corner, the brightness of the colors of which is difficult to describe in words, is an ideal place for a relaxing holiday. Exotic Bora Bora, whose attractions attract tourists from different countries, managed to maintain its natural environment.
Surrounded by coral reefs, the Polynesian pearl, formed as a result of a volcanic eruption, is famous for its well-developed infrastructure and excellent service.
Island Description
The resort, near which nature has created many miniature satellites (motu), is a mountain range with three peaks towering above palm trees - Pahiya, Otemanu and Mataihua. The highest points of Bora Bora were once parts of the gigantic crater of a volcano, extinct many centuries ago. And if the central island belonging to French Polynesia consists of basaltic lava, then its companions are composed of layers of sand and coral remains.
On numerous motu are the airport, luxury hotels, built in water bungalows, on the terrace of which under the quiet lapping of the waves you can enjoy amazing views of dawn and sunset in an atmosphere of complete privacy.
The most beautiful lagoon - a paradise for divers
The main pride of a tourist paradise, where you can relax from the hustle and bustle of megacities, is nature. The picturesque island of Bora Bora, the sights of which will bring a lot of positive emotions to both adults and children, boasts an emerald lagoon, famous for its rich underwater world. Here you can swim with scuba diving, under the supervision of professional instructors to meet stingrays and even feed sharks, consider the coral garden of amazing beauty. An ideal place for snorkeling is formed as a result of leaching of sandy rocks. In the cleanest lagoon, for which many tourists seek to get here, it is always calm, and can not even believe that the Pacific Ocean is nearby.
Visiting card of the resort
Due to its remoteness from civilization, the main attractions of Bora Bora have preserved their pristine beauty. The most recognizable symbol of the beautiful island is Mount Otemanu, rising to a height of more than 700 meters above the surface. The jagged remains of an extinct volcano several million years ago, combined with a picturesque lagoon, cause a storm of emotions among admiring tourists taking photographs for memory.
Where hearts connect
The unforgettable resort of Bora Bora, the sights of which are admired, has rightfully earned a reputation as the most romantic place on our planet. Tourists visiting a fabulous island have a great opportunity to get acquainted with Polynesian culture - go to an authentic village where unusual colorful weddings are organized. Guests are greeted with woven garlands of tiare flowers - a symbol of Polynesia.
No wonder all couples in love and newlyweds so often choose tours to heaven, because the atmosphere that prevails here fully contributes to the manifestation of mutual feelings.
Administrative Center Vaitape
The only city on Bora Bora, the sights of which amaze even the most experienced tourists, is its administrative center. Waitap with a population of about five thousand inhabitants receives travelers all year round. On the only street there are numerous boutiques and shops selling expensive black pearls.
As the guests themselves admit, everything here is designed to pump out as much money as possible from the pockets of vacationers, since the island is not in the region where real precious stones of animal origin are grown. And the existing pearl farm was built as a bait for curious tourists who want to bring the most popular Bora Bora products from a long trip.
Attractions that cannot be ignored
The island is not as rich in historical monuments as its neighbors, but there are about 40 sites (marae) where you can see traces of the presence of ancient civilizations. The sanctuaries, composed of stones decorated with obscure drawings, are a bit like the Egyptian pyramids. Open air venues still play a huge role in the life of Polynesians who adhere to Christian beliefs, coupled with ancient beliefs.
Therefore, one of the most interesting excursion routes is a trip to the Valley of the Kings and a visit to the mysterious Anu Cave. This is a wonderful opportunity to see the most interesting sights of Bora Bora - the remains of centuries-old settlements and religious monuments.
