About Bora Bora
Bora Bora is a volcanic island in the heart of French Polynesia's Society Islands, north-west of Tahiti and a 50-minute flight from it, famous for its turquoise lagoon and white sandy beaches beneath the slopes of Mount Otemanu. Vaitape, the main village, has the church and shops on the edge of the lagoon. Matira Beach, often considered the best beach on the island, is about 12 minutes away by road, and cultural sites and Second World War remains lie around Vaitape. Not to be missed are lagoon tours, snorkelling over coral gardens, lunch on a private motu and hikes towards Mount Otemanu.
