Bora Bora – The First Born

Probably the most well-known, romantic and visually stunning island in French Polynesia, and possibly the whole world. Bora Bora is surrounded by a lagoon and coral reef, with the centre of the island being an extinct volcano. This offers some of the most famous postcard images you can find anywhere, while sailing on your yacht charter Tahiti.

The ancient name is actually Pora Pora, meaning first born. But Captain Cook mistook the sound in the Tahitian language, and the name Bora Bora has become legendary ever since.

Located about 200km northwest of Pepeete, on the main island of Tahiti, a short one hour flight transports you into paradise, and a view of the twin peaks of Mount Otemanu and Mount Pahia rising into the sky.
