Bora Bora Honeymoon

Discover Bora Bora – one of the world’s most exotic islands and the epitome of a postcard-perfect South Pacific.

From the majestic twin peaks of the ancient 600m-high volcano at its centre to the gorgeous, palm-fringed sugar-white beaches around the lagoon, Bora Bora offers couples a truly unique honeymoon destination.

Things to do and see
Do nothing at all while relaxing on one of Bora Bora's sugar-white beaches or explore the island on a choice of outdoor activities.

Cycle along Bora Bora's pretty coastal road stopping off at the Pearl Farm to browse for the perfect honeymoon souvenir – a gorgeous black Tahitian pearl.

Go horseback riding along lush mountain trails, visit ancient marae on a 4WD excursion or cruise Bora Bora’s tranquil lagoon to find the perfect motu (islet) for a romantic champagne picnic.

Scuba dive Tupitipiti Point to see colourful sponges and fish such as sharks, rays and parrotfish, snorkel the shallow waters off Matira Point and the coral gardens of Motu Toopua or hook up a sports-fishing charter.

Later, relax with a glass of chilled wine on the private verandah of your thatched-roof, over-water bure while nature paints a picture-perfect sunset before your very eyes for that special honeymoon moment.

Romance is always in the air in Bora Bora – you just can’t escape it on the island that offers the perfect blend of relaxed Polynesian culture and French savoir-faire.

Accommodation
Bora Bora offers a choice of 25 resorts and hotels, mainly located around the southern tip of Bora Bora at Matira Point, with excellent snorkelling and swimming from some of the most picturesque over-water bungalows in Tahiti.
