My dream is
go to Bora-Bora!
It is an
island in the Leeward group of the Society Islands of French Polynesia, an
overseas collectivity of France in the Pacific Ocean. Bora-Bora is surrounded
by a lagoon and a barrier reef. In the centre of the island are the remnants of
an extinct volcano rising to two peaks (Mount Pahia and Mount Otemanu). The
island was first inhabited by Polynesian settlers around the 4th century AD.
After it was colonized.
Bora Bora
is now a major international tourist destination. The western side of the main
island is opposite the main channel into the lagoon. Today the island's economy
is driven almost solely by tourism. Furthermore several resorts built on motu
(small islands, from Tahitian) surrounding the lagoon. What’s more Hotel Bora
Bora built the first over-the-water bungalows on stilts over the lagoon and
today, over-water bungalows are a standard feature of most Bora Bora resorts.
Bungalows are very luxurious and expensive places to stay.
What is
interesting – a public transport don’t exist on the island. The recommended
methods of transport are rental cars, small buggies and bicycles are. Further
it is possible to rent a motorboat to explore the lagoon.
Attractions:
The
destination most of the tourist is aqua-centric however it is possible to visit
attractions on land for example WWII cannons.
The most
popular activities are : snorkeling and scuba diving. Moreover (very dangerous)
many species of sharks and rays inhabit the surrounding body of water. A few
dive operators on the island offering manta ray dives and also shark-feeding
dives.
