Bora Bora .... The Jewel of the Pacific

by Helga67 - last update: Jan 5, 2005

Bora Bora from the air
Some 260 km (161 miles) to the northwest of Tahiti lies the most incredible and famous island of the Leeward Society islands in French Polynesia.
Blue lagoon


The usual superlatives are almost inadequate to describe the many beautiful faces of Bora Bora. From the air it is truly the 'Jewel of the Pacific' with its central emerald island surrounded by a necklace of islets all suspended in a lagoon of the most incredible hues of blue.
Cheers


In 1994, we discovered this magnificent island during our honeymoon. Back then, we knew we would definitely come back one day. 10 years later we did to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. Another day to remember!

 Helga, Your page here on Bora Bora as well as on Moorea are incredibly helpful and informative. In planning a surprise trip for my wife, your information (albeit some 5 years old now) will help me immensely. Thank you again.

 Ever since I was 20 and named my surfboard "manu rere" (flying bird) a have wanted to see Tahiti and Bora Bora. Your virtual tour has helped me enjoy a place my time has forgotten. Merci.
