Details About Bora Bora

Destinations » Hawaii and South Pacific » South Pacific » Bora Bora


Green volcanic peaks loom out of the Pacific as you approach Bora Bora. It is a view you will never forget. Bora Bora´s name, which means "fleet of canoes with silent paddles" in Polynesian, is both soothing and exotic. Guide your own outrigger canoe to a deserted beach, snorkel in turquoise lagoons, or bike the back roads of this paradise.

Activities

When you can swim, snorkel, or canoe from your front porch, you may not feel an urgent need to journey far from “home.” But the best way to really see Bora-Bora is from the water. It's easy to find a day-sail, a sunset cruise, or a deep-sea sport-fishing boat that will take you out for marlin or other big-game fish.

Currency

The Pacific French Franc (CFP) is the currency used in Bora Bora.
