What to see in French Polynesia

Bora Bora

Located in French Polynesia, Bora Bora is one of the islands belonging to the Society Islands archipelago. Called the "Pearl of the Pacific", its main charm lies in the beauty of its geography, composed of an extinct volcano, mountains, thick forests and crystal clear waters. Its huge turquoise lagoon is bordered by a coral reef that also serves as a barrier to protect it from the sea. A small opening allows the entry of some boats.

Bora Bora is one of the most beautiful paradises in the world. It is also a very romantic destination and is known to be the favourite destination for honeymooners. Its airport, located in the north of the island, was an American military base during WWII, although none of the combats took place in its territory.

This made it possible to maintain its natural beauty practically intact, although, with the increase in tourism since 1972, its shores witnessed the construction of the first hotels and holiday resorts.
