Paradise found in the Pacific Ocean

Guy Johnson on 21 January 2009
Bora Bora is a true pearl in the Pacific Ocean. I travelled with Air Tahit Nui from Los Angeles to Papeete, and then had a 50 minute flight to Bora Bora.

Bora Bora, situated as it is, in the mid pacific is ideal to be included in a "Round the World" itinerary. Many people choose to spend a few days in this unique paradise before continuing their journeys round the world. On arrival, I was transferred in absolute luxury aboard a private water taxi to the new Four Seasons resort. Built on one of the many “Moanas” (or private islands), the hotel is comprised of over 100 over water bungalows and 7 beachfront villas. There are also 3 restaurants, a various luxurious spa, fully equipped gym, and the perfect spot to enjoy a sunset cocktail.

From the hotel, you can enjoy many different activities, including deep sea fishing, shark and sting ray viewing, snorkelling on the amazing coral reefs close to the hotel and many non motorised watersports. Excursions onto the main island will afford you great views, as well as a chance to see reminders of the American occupation of the island during the 2nd World War, and a chance to eat at “Bloody Marys”- the most famous restaurant on the island. Bora Bora is a truly unique destination, perfect for honeymooners and those seeking a complete “Get away from it all” destination.

There are of course many other hotels and islands within French Polynesia. Please give me a call to discuss the options for combining islands, or to include Bora Bora as part of a longer trip
