Discover more about Bora Bora
Bora Bora, often called the "Pearl of the Pacific," is an island group in the Leeward Islands, part of French Polynesia. Formed from an extinct volcano, the island boasts a stunning lagoon and barrier reef, creating a mesmerizing landscape of turquoise waters and lush green hills.
The island's history dates back to the 3rd century AD when Polynesian settlers first inhabited it. Dutch explorer Jakob Roggeveen made the first European sighting in 1722. In 1888, Bora Bora was annexed by the French, marking the end of its independent kingdom. During World War II, the United States used Bora Bora as a military supply base, constructing an airstrip and defensive fortifications. This infrastructure development played a role in the island's subsequent rise as a tourist destination.
Today, tourism drives Bora Bora's economy. The island is famous for its overwater bungalows, a concept pioneered here in the 1960s. Visitors can explore the lagoon through snorkeling, diving, boat tours, and jet skiing. Inland, hiking trails lead to panoramic views from Mount Otemanu and Mount Pahia. Vaitape, the main town, offers a glimpse into local life with shops, restaurants, and cultural experiences. Bora Bora seamlessly blends natural beauty, Polynesian culture, and luxurious accommodations.
