Bora Bora – Arrive in the Charm and Beauty of Luxurious Bora Bora

If Tahiti is the crown of the South Pacific, then Bora Bora is its coveted jewel. Turquoise and indigo hues shine around the 11 square miles of the island edged by the ivory white sands found along the coastline. The scent of hibiscus permeates the air and accentuates the semi-sweet aroma of the sea as manta rays and angelfish swim in the crystal clear waters to reach the rainbow coral gardens. Your flight will descend into Bora Bora Airport and offer a remarkable first view of the soaring basalt peak of Mount Otemanu.

Your private transfer will greet you both upon your arrival and escort you across the glistening waters of the lagoon to the sensational luxuries of your resort located on a private islet that overlooks the shores of Bora Bora. The dramatic peak of Mount Otemanu looms over the heart of the island as a background to your overwater bungalow. The sea breeze will rustle through the thistles on the thatch roof, and you can see sergeant majors swimming in the lagoon below through the glass floor panel at the heart of your suite.

Your private plunge pool offers views to the white shores of Bora Bora and the soaring cliffs of Otemanu. In the evening, you can make your way to the restaurant on the property for a fabulous welcome of a Polynesian dinner and show. The scent of coconut milk emanates from the dish of Poisson Cru, which is made from raw tuna marinated in coconut and lime. The passionate rhythm of Toere drumbeats fills the air as dancers take to the stage to perform the traditional Tamure dance. The iconic beat increases to lead the dancers to shake their hips faster, swishing their grass skirts.

New Zealand, French Polynesia 75th Birthday Trip Review: Volcano Flight, Helicopter Ride, Glacier, Overnight Cruise, Bora Bora, Milford Sound, 32 Nights

We had a fabulous time celebrating my 75th birthday in New Zealand and Bora Bora. Zicasso's travel specialist was fantastic to work with. She was very responsive to all of our questions and concerns and even checked in with us numerous times while we were on the trip. I'd highly recommend her and the travel company when traveling to New Zealand or French Polynesia.

French Polynesia Travel Review: Bora Bora, Taha'a, Tahiti, 3-Week Trip

This was one of the top three vacations of my life, and I've been lucky enough to go on many holidays over my 65 years. From the hotels we stayed at to the food at the resorts and the people at the resorts and in public, everything was perfect. 

We had a little snafu at the beginning when our flight was canceled and we ended up leaving 24 hours later, but that had nothing to do with the Zicasso travel company, and after one quick phone call, the itinerary was adjusted to our new day and time of arrival. 

Drivers met us at hotels and airports when they were supposed to, hotel rooms were available and ready when they should have been, and our organized trips went off like a dream. A helicopter tour of one of the islands was canceled due to the airport being closed and we received a refund within days of our return. 

The resorts in Bora Bora and Taha'a were particularly nice; great choices!!
