What to do in Bora Bora

The island of Bora Bora lies in French Polynesia, to which Tahiti also belongs, and is easily one of the most exclusive island destinations in the world. Overwater bungalows sit above cobalt water scintillating with a rainbow of tropical fish, while the former volcano carter rises to the majestic dual peaks of Mt. Pahia and Mt. Otemanu. This is paradise.

Coral reef snorkeling, deep-sea diving, wave running, pearl diving, sleeping in, cuddling, wading into shallow pools with cocktail in hand…things go as fast or as slow as you want here (Note: service also takes this ethos to heart, so be patient!).

After lunch, we enjoyed cocktails in the pretty gorgeous outdoor seating area shaded by huge trees and fragrant flowers, and shopped in the "Boutique" filled with knitted hats and bags, jewelry and other trinkets and souvenirs.

Hiking or Spa?

One of the best things to do in Bora Bora is to treat yourself to a relaxing day at the Four Seasons Spa, where you can enjoy a range of treatments inspired by Polynesian traditions. Opt for a couple's massage for a truly indulgent experience. - Tip: Make your reservations in advance to ensure availability for your preferred treatments.

Bora Bora

Take advantage of the island, and go snorkeling with friendly sting-rays or diving on the vibrant reefs teeming with life. Jump on an interior tour, and hike the treacherous Mt. Otemanu (bring a guide, as tourists have been known to get lost easily!). Or simply let the hot and eager cabana boys serve you ice-cold cocktails under an umbrella on the beach. This is you time, and there is no shame in that!

The Spa At Four Seasons Resort

You can still hiking the Mount Otemanu is Bora Bora's iconic peak. While the ascent is reserved for experienced hikers, there are guided tours that will let you explore its slopes and discover the unique flora of the island.
  - Tip: Bring water, sunscreen, and appropriate footwear. The views from the summit are spectacular and worth the effort!

By choosing the Four Seasons Resort and opting for unique excursions, you will create unforgettable memories.

Hot Tip: My flight was early morning, so I left the resort about 10pm. Had I known how great the Spa was, I would have delayed my flight until the following day and stayed an extra night and morning.
