Bora Bora

Bora Bora is a small island about 160 miles northwest of Tahiti and is the inspiration of the romantic musical South Pacific and the movie Bali Hai. The main island, dominated by the twin peaks of Mount Otemanu with its lush green slopes, is protected by a coral reef enclosing a beautiful turquoise lagoon rich in marine life and a paradise for divers. The tranquil way of life and breathtaking scenery on Bora Bora make it a romantic and magical destination for honeymoon couples and cruise visitors alike. It has inspired artists such as the French post-impressionist painter, Paul Gauguin and Henri Matisse as well as movie star Marlon Brando who bought a private island near Bora Bora.
