Cruises visiting Bora Bora, Society Islands

Points of Interest Matira Public Beach Not only is Matira Beach one of the only public access beaches in Bora Bora, it is also considered one of the most beautiful in French Polynesia. Its sand-bottom, shallow lagoon is perfect for snorkeling. Matira Beach’s crystal blue water and white, powdery sand curve to the west of Matira Point. WWII American Guns • Fitiiu Point This site is only accessible by 4WD. Positioned on the north side of Vairou Bay at Fitiiu Point, also see along the way marae sites and incredible views of Mount Otemanu. Look far up the side of Otemanu to spot the entrance of Te Ana Opea cave. Marine Museum • Near Faanui This small museum at the very northern end of the island is only open upon request (and never on the weekends), so if you want to see 40 models of ancient and modern canoes, tuna fishing boats, and models of legendary ships such as the Bounty and the Kon Tiki, make arrangements before you visit. Address: PK 11 north of Vaitape, near Faanui. Phone: (40) 67-75-24 Bloody Mary’s restaurant • Pofai Bay Bloody Mary’s Restaurant is celebrated for living off the name of a character in the movie South Pacific and for the views it offers of the island. The “celebrities wall of fame” is one of the main attractions at the entrance of the restaurant. WWII cannons • Faanui Bay, Farepiti Point Only accessible by 4WD, these cannons are strategically placed to guard the Teavanui Pass. Lagoon of Bora Bora • 40000 acres and the Coral gardens Eighty percent of the activities in Bora Bora are related to the lagoon. These activities include snorkeling, swimming with reef sharks, interacting with stingrays, diving, and cruising in a glassbottom boat, catamaran, outrigger canoe and/or jetboat/jetski. Lagoonarium • Motu del Lagoonarium The Bora Bora Lagoonarium is a natural aquarium on a small motu (island), just east of the main island. (By “natural,” we mean that this aquarium isn’t manmade. Rather, it’s a portion of the actual lagoon). One of the coolest things about this family-owned attraction is that you can actually snorkel on the premises under the supervision of wildlife guides. Beneath the lagoon’s surface, you’ll spy sharks, turtles, rays and many diff erent kinds of ocean fish.
