Bora Bora, Tahiti Nov 8, 2011



Bora Bora, Tahiti


November 8, 2011


*** Be very careful what water you drink in all of the Polynesia area - They drink Mineral water like we drink spring water, ie:  in their bottled water is a % of Magnesium that Americans are not used to - So, Beware! ~ Magnesium ~ as in ~ Milk of Magnesia ;-) ***



For many ~ there are few places, if any, in the world ~ whose natural beauty surpasses Bora Bora.  Here nature painted a perfect masterpiece of deep green volcanic peaks edged by a ribbon of reef and magnificent white-sand beaches.  A small island, Toopua, and the islet Toopua iti proudly stand guard nearby.  All of this majesty rises from a spectacular lagoon of jewel-like hues ranging from deep amethyst to light turquoise.



Most of Bora Bora’s residents live on the flat coastal strip that rings the island.  The paved round-island road skirts the shoreline and runs in and out of the bays.  Because the road is only 32Km (19 miles) long, many visitors see it by bicycle ~ give your self a full day, scooter or car.

This was my absolute favorite tour.  
The water for swimming and snorkeling was warm and clear.
Our guides were fantastic and helped all of us see and pet the sting rays in waist deep water.
