French Polynesian

Deciding to travel to Bora Bora or any French Polynesian island doesn’t have to mean that you’ll spend your days laying around on a beach or on the private deck of your luxury overwater villa – not that there’s anything wrong with those options! The Honeymoon Trustr’s travel guide will highlight all of the activities that no trip to Bora Bora or surrounding islands would be complete without.

Bora Bora

The most famous of the French Polynesian islands certainly doesn’t disappoint visitors. Holidays in Bora Bora are the dream, but nobody wants to travel all this way and not experience the best that the island has to offer.

It would be unthinkable to travel to Bora Bora and not explore the wondrous shores. For an island tour with an adventurous twist, you should definitely sign yourself up for a jet-ski tour. Take to the seas and explore this haven like never before, gaining a deeper insight into the fascinating culture and history, all the while gazing upon awe-inspiring views of the lagoons and the imperious Mount Otemanu.

Mountains and Markets

We wouldn’t blame you for feeling that a distant glimpse of the incredible Mount Otemanu simply isn’t enough. Luckily, most Bora Bora resorts allow you to book hiking excursions, which will see you scaling steep gradients and trekking through incomparable lush landscapes to reach unbelievable heights. You’ll feel on top of the world afterwards!

Anybody looking for a taste of the city while on this paradise island will find it in Vaitape. The largest city on Bora Bora, it is populated by just under 5000 people, which is actually half of the entire island’s population. It’s here that you’ll be able to buy unique trinkets for all of your friends back home and, of course, no trip to Bora Bora would be complete without perusing the coveted black pearls.
