Mount Otomanu

The island is celebrated for its lush tropical slopes and valleys of Mount Otomanu. The blossoms of hibiscus add to the visual splendor as palm-covered motu, the Polynesian word for small islands, line the illuminated lagoon like a piece of fine jewelry. In ancient times, Bora Bora was called “Pora pora mai te pora”, meaning “created by the gods” in the local Tahitian dialect. The smell of the Tahitian flower tiare lingers in the air, relaxing your soul. In Bora Bora, the delicate white sand beaches surround the island in every direction as they give way to cerulean waters filled with radiant fish, coral gardens and giant manta rays gliding effortlessly through the warm waters.
