If you have ever dreamed of visiting the Society Islands in French Polynesia, then there is a good chance you have compiled a Bora Bora bucket list along the way. This heavenly island group located to the north-west of Tahiti has long been the desire of many a traveller. And it is easy to see why. With its idyllic natural scenery, unforgettable accommodation, and romantic atmosphere, Bora Bora should be experienced by anyone with a love of the tropics at least once in their lifetime.
At Spacifica Travel, we have had the pleasure of visiting Bora Bora on many occasions. We feel well positioned to offer up some of our favourite experiences while staying at this one-of-a-kind location. Whether you have already started planning your Bora Bora bucket list or not, make sure you add these items to your travel itinerary before setting off on an adventure you will never forget.
Stay in an Overwater Bungalow
It’s the image that immediately grabs your attention when looking at pictures of Bora Bora: a traditional, Polynesian-style bungalow perched elegantly over the turquoise waters below. Staying at one of the overwater bungalows in Bora Bora will be an experience that will stick with you forever.
Most Bora Bora resorts offer them as an accommodation option. When staying in one, you always enjoy quick and easy access to the lagoon, meaning you are only ever seconds away from cleansing yourself in its calm and clear waters. And depending on the resort you are staying at; you may have a complimentary breakfast delivered to your bungalow by boat each morning. Not a bad way to start your day at all!
Go Snorkelling with the Marine Life
Bora Bora lagoon is brimming with colourful marine life that you can get up close and personal with when you go snorkelling. The unspoiled waters of the lagoon make it a perfect place to witness the beauty of this underwater world and see the schools of fish, stingrays, and sharks (we promise they won’t bite!) in all their glorious detail.
There are several Bora Bora snorkelling boat tours you can go on that will take you out to the best spots in the lagoon to experience the magic of the local marine life. If you don’t feel confident getting in the water yourself, there are also glass-bottomed boat tours that allow you to explore the wonders of the lagoon while staying dry.
Treat Yourself to some Poisson Cru
If you have a taste for some luxurious local cuisine, then be sure to treat yourself to some Tahitian Poisson Cru while staying at Bora Bora. This mouth-watering dish is made from fresh tuna, veggies, and lime, all soaked together in coconut milk. If that sounds like something that you want on your plate, then be sure to include it in your Bora Bora bucket list.
Relax on a Bora Bora Beach
Whether you are sunbathing on the golden sands, enjoying a beach picnic with your family, or taking in the beautiful sunset with your significant other, you are bound to create lasting memories while relaxing on one of Bora Bora’s many iconic beaches.
There is no shortage of stunning beaches throughout Bora Bora, each one exuding romance and magic in spades. Here are just some of our favourite beaches that are absolute must-visits on your Bora Bora holiday:
