Bora Bora..adventure island..

Bora Bora has long been recognized as Gauguin’s inspiration and the destination for lovey-dovey honeymooners, but the exotic locale now offers more for the established set than ever before.

Air Tahiti Nui’s decadent first and business class cabins make the flight from LAX to Papeete a pleasure as you dine on duck filet, caviar, and French wines. Tack on another 45-minute flight from the main island of Tahiti to far-flung Bora Bora, and you’ll feel as though you are at the outer edges of the world.

Several new deluxe resorts are being built on the smaller islands, or motus, around Bora Bora, while keeping French Polynesia’s quiet, unadulterated charm in tact. The InterContinental Le Moana Resort Bora Bora opened a new 80-villa resort this past summer; the St. Regis Resort, Bora Bora welcomed guests to a 92-room all-suite resort last June; and the Four Seasons has just started building its elaborate hideaway next door.

You can easily spend an entire week lounging on the resort beaches staring at the dream-like scenery around you. Once you’ve sipped enough mai tais and are up for a bit of adventure, however, the local guides are the best way to explore the sights.

A jeep safari through the lush brush up Mount Otemanu, the jagged remnant of an ancient 2,400-foot-high volcano, will reward you with views of the sparkling lagoons down below. For you water babies, riding an outrigger canoe or jetski around the island will offer an unbelievable glimpse at the coral reefs and aqua-blue waters. The best tours bring you by a private motu for a bit of lagoon wading, snorkeling, and a feast on native coconuts and grapefruit plucked fresh off the trees.

No trip is complete without a visit to one of the many local pearl farms around the island for that perfect souvenir. Although most people are familiar with the beauty of the black Tahitian pearls, they are available in a rainbow of colors ranging from lunar blue, silver, and gold to the most valuable in shades of peacock green, eggplant, and rainbow.

The sights and gardenia-scented breezes will entice even the most harried visitor to turn off the cell phone and power down the computer.
