Bora Bora Travel Pictures

in #borabora7 years ago

In May 2016, my wife and I took our honeymoon trip to Bora Bora, French Polynesia. The main island is basically the large mountain seen in the pictures (Mount Otemanu) with a road circling it at it's base. The low elevation Motu surrounding the island are primarily sand and coral and protect the lagoon from the swells of the Pacific Ocean. This is why such extensive marine life can been seen almost anywhere in the lagoon! Most of the resorts are located on the Motu, and the island itself is home to most of the locals and resort workers.

I have included some pictures around the resort showcasing the over water bungalows, a picture of the fish seen during a reef snorkeling trip, some black tip reef sharks that we reluctantly swam with in deep water (approximately 100-150 feet), and of course a picture of the local beer Hinano. If interested in purchasing Hinano in the U.S., I've only been able to find it from a couple of wine stores in California.

I would recommend this as a special occasion vacation destination for everyone, unless of course you have accumulated lost of STEEM!
