Things To Do in Bora Bora

What Is Bora Bora Known For?

Bora Bora is best known for crystal clear, aqua-colored shallow waters, delicate white sand, and unbelievably colorful coral reefs home to over 1,000 species of fish. Bora Bora is also known for world-renowned shopping for local and international original art, Tahitian pearls, and precious wood handcrafts.

Bora Bora Activities

There are many Bora Bora activities and opportunities to explore the lagoon, the motu, and the ocean. Options include – but aren’t limited to – fishing, cruises, jet skiing, kiteboarding, paddleboarding, outrigger canoe rides, kayaking, island boat tours, and more. 

The Bora Bora lagoon is an underwater world that hosts manta rays, sharks, gentle Napoleon wrasses, and other marine life, which will welcome you while scuba diving, helmet diving, or viewing from a glass-bottom boat. Imagine catching a delicious tuna for dinner, paddling on a stand-up paddleboard to a private motu, having a decadent and fresh seafood lunch waterside, or snorkeling up-close and personal with hundreds of colorful marine animals. 

Those who love an adrenaline rush can enjoy wakeboarding or tubing on the crystal waters, circling the coastline on a jet ski, or viewing the lagoon from a parasail. In contrast, those who love to lounge have a cocktail or local beer at the renowned Bloody Mary’s, or enjoy appetizers on a sunset cruise. So don’t forget about taking a four-wheeler, going for a hike, or taking it all in from the air in an unforgettable helicopter tour.
