Bora Bora

by localpics - last update: Feb 3, 2003

Sofitel Motu Hotel

This is the walkway to the hotel. We took a water taxi from the airport and we were greeted at the dock by several members of the hotel staff, including a guy strumming the ukele. They gave us fresh fruit juice, floral lei's, and cold towels. The check-in process was great. They took us straight to our bungalow and checked us in right there.

Renting a Car

We drove this little rental car around the island of Bora Bora.
Mt. Otemanu is in the background.

Bora Bora Sunset

Sunset viewed from our bungalow.

Polynesian Show

We caught a Polynesian Show at the restaurant in the Sofitel Marara hotel.

Rainy Day

 Spectacular Photos of islands that are SO rich in natural beauty. The ocean there looks like a giant swimming pool tranquil, clear, and warm.
