There are many things to do while in Bora Bora. Assuming you don’t want to stay inside your hotel during the whole day, we suggest the following: First, decide whether you would like to explore the island from the air, land, or water. From the air you can take helicopter tours or parasail. On sunny days you have an amazing view of the lagoon with its variety of beautiful blue hues. The parasailing tour will show you the south part of the island and provide you with a view of the sister islands Raiatea and Tahaa. There are also bus tours going around the island and stopping at various landmarks. More fun is the 4x4 safari excursion, as the jeeps can go on unpaved paths inside the island. You can also rent cars. My favorite one is the "fun car". It looks almost like a toy cabriolet, and is very cute. The boat excursions inside the lagoon usually offer a trip around the main island. As the boats stay inside the lagoon, there are almost no waves, and you can enjoy superb sights of the Otemanu and Paia mountains. You will stop on a Motu (small island of the outer reef) where you can do some snorkeling.
