Detailed itinerary
1
Bora Bora’s beauty is breathtaking, and 4WD is the very best way to take it all in. Your off-road vehicle is comfortable and safe, transporting you to Bora Bora’s most secluded spots. Experienced multi-lingual guides share stories of the island’s history from ancient legends of Polynesian gods and chiefs to the lure of Hollywood filmmakers and seafaring adventure seekers. Historic World War II canons will remind you of the social and economic impacts, and international influences on the island home. Stroll along Matira’s sunny shore, voted as one of the world’s top ten beaches. Enjoy the cool breezes at Bora Bora’s highest vantage points and marvel at the world renowned lagoon bordered by the Motus — offshore isles afloat in a turquoise paradise.
And when lunch time comes around, you will be taken to a private Island "Motu" where you will assist in uncovering of the traditional Tahitian Oven (earth Oven) tasting the many traditional foods, such as the "Taro" root, suckling pig and much more (a small BBQ spread is also available). After lunch you can walk around the sandy beach, walk up the top of the mount and enjoy the 360º view of the island. Snorkeling equipment is also available for a little under water adventure. There’s no better way to get to know Bora Bora than by spending time with your local guide. Go and enjoy the beauty of the Tahitian island home. Ia Orana!
