Exploring Bora Bora


A week in Bora Bora, Tahiti

I was fascinated with Bora Bora so I made my way down for the equinox.
The major Island with atolls (small land masses) surrounding it.



This exploding volcano from many centuries ago contains a heavy density and is slowly sinking into the Pacific.
The Indigenous natives speak Tahitian, French (it’s French Polynesian), and many speak English.
The Island was like one big garden and I felt like I was in a dream while there. Natives were warm and hospitable and I learned a little Tahitian. Visitors came from around the world and spoke all languages.
I scuba dived around the island amazed by the beautiful coral reef, a variety of fish, sharks, manta and sting rays, and whales.






Afterwards, I enjoyed a relaxing evening on the patio, truly a room with a view!

The floor was sand and a relaxing fun afternoon was on the menu.

Tahitians are traditional in keeping their culture, language, and music alive.
