The Island of Bora Bora provides Exquisite Dining at Bora Bora Lagoon Resort - Watersports

Canoeing & Kayaking
Outriggers, or racing canoes, are popular in French Polynesia. Racing canoes that are eligible for international competition weigh no more than 400 pounds (181 kilos), and are made of fiberglass, but visitors will find traditional canoes made from local hardwoods.


Some hotels and rental agencies around the islands offer outriggers, and visitors can even sign up for outrigger tours. In the late afternoon, it's common to see teams of paddlers practicing or racing against other teams in lagoons throughout the islands.
