Bora Bora is a small island located in the South Pacific Ocean. It forms part of the Society Islands in French Polynesia and it sits roughly 160 miles or 260 km northwest of the main island of Tahiti. Bora Bora consists of a small mountainous main island, which is the remnant of an extinct volcano, and is surrounded by a turquoise lagoon and a barrier reef. Scattered along this reef are small, sandy islets called motus, many of which are home to luxurious resorts. Despite its modest size of only about 12 square miles or 31 square km, Bora Bora packs in a variety of activities. In this video, we’ll show you our top 10 things to do on Bora Bora. At the end, we’ll also share a top budget travel tip.
