Walk around Bora Bora? Only 20 miles

The round island road is less than 20 miles long, so many visitors go all the way by bike, scooter, or car. The best place to leave is the Vaitape Pier, on the west coast, the main city of the island. Along the way, spectacular views of Mount Pahia and Mount Otemanu emerge the two extinct volcanoes of Bora Bora. One option to see more of Bora Bora is to take a guided sightseeing tour. Otemanu Tours, performed in an open-air truck, exposes tourists to additional places that are not visible from the road.

The charm of this island is enhanced by a stunningly colored lagoon, whose turquoise blue changes a variety of shades throughout the day, and by the barrier reef that protects it. Part of the beauty of the island is the activities that the water around it makes possible. For those looking for a beach, Matira Beach, with its secluded shores, at the southern tip of the island, is stunning.

Diving and snorkeling opportunities are almost everywhere. The main tourist centers offer the opportunity to get close to numerous species of tropical fish, colorful marine crustaceans and brilliant corals. Manta rays are the stars of the show. The largest dive centers on the island are TOPdive Bora Bora, Blue Nui Dive Center, DiveEasy and Bora Diving Center.
