Bora-Bora

When I see a weather outside my window I would like to have the holidays and go far away. And you? Do you prefer spending summer abroad or in your country? What is your ideal place for spending holidays?

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.
