Bora Bora is a volcano in the process of drowning. The peak still stands ’ Otemanu, seven hundred metres of black basalt ’ but the flanks have sunk, leaving a ring of coral and a lagoon in shades of blue for which English has insufficient words.
This route pairs it with Rangiroa, which is what Bora Bora will eventually become: an atoll with the mountain gone entirely, its lagoon so vast that the far rim drops below the horizon. Between them lie Moorea and Taha’a. It is the best of French Polynesia in one week.
Every route we shape is a starting point, not a fixed schedule. Stay a second day where the light is right, move with the weather, or follow a captain who knows the cove worth the detour. That freedom is the point of chartering. What follows is one considered way to read Bora Bora and the atolls; the rest we tailor to you.
