Bora Bora is the kind of tropical island most often found in dreams... a Polynesian jewel of glittering coral, clear blue water and lush green forests.

Once home to Paul Gauguin, inspiration to countless other artists and writers, it retains all its legendary beauty and charm, exerting an irresistible magnetism on those seeking to escape the cares of the everyday world.

In the middle of Bora Bora's spectacular lagoon lies Motu Toopua, a fragment of an ancient volcano that has become the ultimate tropical hideaway, a sweet-scented enclave of lush plants and flowers, tall palms and white sand beaches.

A scheduled complimentary hotel motor launch leaves regularly from the resort for Vaitape, Bora Bora's main village.  At Vaitape wharf, the centre of island activity, stands a monument to Alain Gerbault, the French yachtsman who made the first non-stop solo crossing of the Atlantic in 1923.

Bora Bora offers a wide range of activites.  Sea excursions include deep sea fishing, shark feeding, jet ski tours and whale watching.  Land excursions include jeep safaris, helicopter tours, horseback riding, hiking and bus, bike and car tours.
A variety of cruises, museums and cultural events are also available.
