A volcano on one of the most beautiful lagoons in the world, Bora Bora, "the Pearl of Polynesia" remains that place of your dreams.
The proud silhouette of its mountainous heart is made up of three peaks, the highest of which, "Otemanu" at 727 meters is twinned by the legendary Pahia. Bountiful nature has graced this island with a lagoon of translucent waters and immeasurable beauty, ringed by a rosary of heavenly islets.
One of these motu is the site of the airport, while others have luxury hotels on them. One exception is the Toopua motu with a hill more than one hundred meters high where there are echoing rocks called "Hiro's bells". The charm of Bora Bora goes way back in history and artists, painters, writers, philosophers and pleasure seekers follow in the footsteps of Alain Gerbault, Herman Melville and Paul-Émile Victor.
