Tourism in Bora Bora

Bora Bora is a group of islands in the Pacific Ocean, a place where breathtaking natural beauty shines in all directions. Tourism has a strong influence on the region's economy each year and increases the number of foreigners seeking to know the stunning landscapes of this island.

Bora Bora Islands

Integrating the French Polynesia, Bora Bora is a strong attraction for honeymooners, seeking a romantic and compelling to pass the honeymoon. The island consists of a landscape rich in clear water, valuing the blue sea. Some sports are also typical of the region, such as the snorkel. 

Bora Bora tourists can also conduct eco-tours, exploring the woods and taking a more direct contact with nature. The flora is rich, resulting from the protection that the U.S. intended to Polynesia in times of WWII. Currently the people are afraid of volcanic eruptions, which threaten the region for decades. Besides the natural scenery in Bora Bora is also possible to find great hotels and know more about some of popular culture which houses the island.

The archipelago is considered one of the best travel options, travel agencies usually earn a lot with the packages that have Bora Bora as a destination. Lagonarium is one of the best known sights of the island, home to sharks, rays and many fish that swim in the clear waters. The tropical climate also provides sunbathing and boat rides. The cuisine of Bora Bora is considered exotic, using underground oven for the preparation of dishes, investing in raw fish and seafood. 

A bit of experience to know the paradise

Even the top you get to see small wooden walkways that meet the sea, where are the famous bungalows over water. The desire to know them is to temporarily put aside when you finally get off the plane and realize that the airport is small and the only inhabitant of an island surrounded by a water "turquoise-elusive" on all sides. With the little bag in hand, the question is which boat will take you to your hotel. A row of them is the only way to exit the airport and it makes you wish that it not be just a dream. Can not be. Not.Bora Bora - one of the 10 most popular destinations on the planet - is a large volcanic island surrounded by small islands and large tracts of land in length that look like paradise. Actually everything is just a great barrier reef, full of shoals, stingrays and sharks that you will spend the rest of his life trying to explain to friends are harmless. While the airport and the best resorts are located on the outside, restaurants, markets and a few shops and studios of local artists are on the central island. Transportation is mainly done by small boats and if you have really great interest in knowing the core, be careful: you can be literally stranded. Vaitape and Matira are the busiest points of the island. Still, do not expect to find much beyond incredible views, small shops and a craft or other place in your daily routine. Bora Bora island is a peaceful and we hope she stays that way for the rest of our lives. Because of the difficulty of local transport, the few taxis on the island may charge a higher value to get a tourist unaware pier back to your hotel. The restaurants in turn, make advance reservations and offer transfers to and from every night. It's worth knowing the Kaina Hut and the famous and eccentric Blood Mary. But if you are someone who likes to stretch the night, forget it. Bora Bora in the account may arrive before 23h dessert and you'll be cozy in her room again, enjoying the stars. Consider the night of this island paradise is to be admired for two, looking at the sky and gaze at the moon's reflection in the sea. That's enough. If the night ends early is because many activities await you in the morning. There are several options for tours to see the whole island, snorkel with fish, stingrays and sharks, visit a black pearl farm or even make a picnic on a motu (island).The Teremoana Tours is one of the most famous and makes a complete tour that lasts all day. After a trip like this, do not be surprised if you add to your vocabulary words like Ia Ora Na (Good Morning), Nana (bye) and Maururu (Thanks). Knowing French Polynesia can often seem a distant dream, but when you want something a lot, make sure that it can indeed one day become reality.

Polynesian Cuisine

The Maa'a Tahiti (Tahitian food) is basically a natural cuisine made mostly with fresh produce, an abundance of tropical fruits and often flavored with vanilla. It is not too hardened and use of spices is almost nonexistent.

The kitchen operates Tahitian quite what's offered by nature like fruits and products domar.As fruits like pineapple, banana, papaya, melon, apple, are of excellent quality, especially the pineapple Moorea is one of the best in the world.

Fish is the staple food of the region. In these islands, the most passionate fish and seafood will be in heaven but still carnivores do not have problems and might be satisfied with juicy steaks and also with dishes based on pork.

Today, its traditional cuisine, based on many fruits, tubers and wonderful fresh fish, is a mixture of dishes inspired by the kitchens French, Chinese and Polynesian.

The traditional Tahitian food is a great mix of fafa (tuber taro leaf) and uru (breadfruit), fish - both raw and cooked pork, coconut milk and some vegetables.

I hope that the information has been exposed clearly and encourage everyone to know this island paradise and full of surprises. If you already knew Bora Bora, how about letting your experience in the comments of this Hub?
