One of the world’s most dramatically beautiful islands, the ultimate on everyone’s Tahiti travel wish list.

Tahiti’s most famous island is also one of the world’s most dramatically beautiful, the ultimate on everyone’s Tahiti travel wish list; a reasonably large and precipitous land mass crowned by no less than three peaks, all enclosed within lagoon waters of the utmost limpidity.

Bora Bora is the embodiment of enchantment and certainly fulfils most notions of a South Pacific paradise. Small wonder it’s called the “Pearl of the Pacific” and that travel to Bora Bora stirs almost every traveller’s imagination.

Dominating the landscape is Mt Otemanu, a sheer volcanic plug soaring 727m to pierce the clouds with its jagged, broken peak. Nearby, shoulder to shoulder amid thick skirts of tropical green, rise Mt Pahia (661m) and the pointed Mt Popoti (249m).

Bora Bora is a hugely popular holiday destination and differs markedly from placid Taha’a and Raiatea. It may lack unaffected rural charm, yet more than compensates with its outstanding natural beauty and a fine-tuned tourist infrastructure. This is certainly an excellent location for those seeking an escape to elegance and Bora Bora travel packages are an elegant solution for a value-for-money trip of a lifetime.

When to travel to Bora Bora

Daytime temperatures are generally 23-32 C. December-February is the hottest, rainiest time and May-November gets the least rain but is a little cooler. The best months for Bora Bora travel packages are April-August. During July there is the Heiva festival, which combines Bastille Day festivities with traditional dance and music.
