Bora Bora French Polynesia
Best beaches of French Polynesia
For those who love the beach, the cool breeze under palm trees, diving and tranquility, a paradise never imagined is waiting on the beaches of French Polynesia. French Polynesia is an archipelago of small volcanic islands in the Pacific Ocean. The inhabitants are friendly; its connection with the world is null, and its beaches … a dream.
Caribbean beaches are beautiful, Hawaii beaches too, but these small Pacific islands apart from being isolated from the world they have volcanic landscapes with coral reefs and colorful bays that provide a unique marine life difficult to see elsewhere in the world.
Tourism in French Polynesia is very exclusive. This expensive destination asserts its charm. Within the group of “Society Islands” stands Thaiti Island, where the capital of French Polynesia is located. This paradise has several first-class hotels offering luxurious services on its shores. However, Thaiti is not the most impressive island. Among the best beaches in French Polynesia include the island of Moorea, with a stunning scenery, clear waters and rich marine life, but without doubt the most shocking island is Bora Bora.
Awarded many times by different media as the best beach in the world, Bora Bora is beyond belief. Several times we have seen photos of cabins on the beach, houses over the water, beautiful beach landscapes, but Bora Bora exceeds any picture in anyone’s mind.
Bora Bora is a volcanic island surrounded by coral reefs and extensive vegetation. The coral reefs surrounding the island act as a barrier to the Pacific Ocean, letting the inner beaches of the island to be the perfect paradise. Tourism in Bora Bora is mainly based on young tourists, usually couples, newlyweds on their honeymoon, and in some cases families. Peace reigns throughout the island, the contact with nature is permanent and landscapes are very impressive.
The trip to Bora Bora begins in a plane that will take you from Thaiti (which receives international flights) to this beautiful island of dreams. This first image of the island seen from above will leave you unforgettable memories. Once in Bora Bora you will be transferred to your hotel, but the hotel concept will not be the same as conventional. Hotels have been adapted to the harmony of the place and the rooms consist of small individual cottages along the coast with a terrace over the water pointing to the sea. Cabins are modern and with the facilities of a traditional hotel room, but when you take a sit on the chair of your terrace it will be difficult for you to understand the breathtaking scenery that surrounds you, with different shades of green, blue , clear water, turquoise, and other spectacular lighting colors.
The cabins of the hotels in Bora Bora are surrounded by palm trees and extravagant wildlife. Meals offer different varieties of fresh seafood, with spices and flavors that probably you have never experienced before. If you are planning a beach vacation or want to impress your partner or family, Bora Bora is definitely the perfect destination. Beach activities are organized at the Hotel’s beaches, so people can opt for entertainment or just relax and enjoy the charming natural environment.
Some attractive activities of Bora Bora are shark feeding, diving, aerial adventures, among others. Check for RAY AND SHARK FEEDING TOURS.
The shark feeding program is unbelievable. An experimented local guide takes the tourists (not more than 10 poeple) on a small boat ride far from the coast. Then, in the middle of nowhere, all get off the boat (always within the barrier reef that surrounds the island). The local guide begins to draw the attention of blue sharks and tiger sharks by throwing food into the water. The stingrays are soon to arrive, and can be touched by tourists but with discretion. In a few minutes, the guide is surrounded by sharks looking for “some food”. A gripping adventure suitable only for the brave.
Diving in Bora Bora is awesome. The clarity of the water allows a visibility of several meters, and the reefs inhabited by myriads of tropical fish provide a perfect scenario for this adventure. Manta Rays, turtles, snakes, eels, and a huge variety of fish are waiting to be seen in the depths of Bora Bora’s beaches.
As said before, holidays in Bora Bora are very exclusive, so we recommend to book your hotel in Bora Bora in advance. These comments from the beaches of French Polynesia and the spectacular island of Bora Bora are based on experiences of people who write for our Travel Blog. In our next edition will introduce further material about other exotic places and beach havens around the world.
