The flight on Air Tahiti is not only means of transport. It is a scenic flight offering some amazing aerial views of islands like Moorea, Raiatea, Tahaa, Huahine, Maupiti and Bora Bora. The colors of reefs, lagoons, ocean and mountainous islands are breathtaking.
The arrival at Motu Mute - the airport of Bora Bora is not the end of the journey. There is a boat trip to Vaitape, the main town on the island, which becomes a part of spectacular sightseeing through the lagoon.
Another centre is Matira with a number of resorts and pensions and beautiful white sand beaches that are so rare in most of Polynesia. While the resorts offer car or scooter hire at an additional cost, the pensions have free bicycles. They are the same as the locals use, old fashioned, pedal back breaks but it is easy to get adjusted and enjoy a trip around the island on a bike stopping for a swim and enjoying the sights. Another way of circumnavigating the island is to do it by boat. The ever changing lagoon colors are incredible and the snorkel stops very enjoyable, although some a bit scary. Swimming with sharks has proven to be safe though, rays, turtles and colorful fish plentiful and the water warm and clear.
