This is the most enchanting time to experience the lagoon and a number of the resorts provide sunset cruises, including appetizers and cocktails.
SHOP FOR BLACK PEARLS
Bora Bora’s Vaitape, the island’s main town is home to several high end pearl shops, including Robert Wan, OPEC and Tahia Collins.

SNORKELING FROM BEAUTIFUL OVERWATER BUNGALOW
When you stay at one of the over water bungalows, you won’t need to book a snorkel excursion because you can enjoy it from your lodgings. You’ll be able to see plenty of colorful reef fish right from your bungalow and if you’re lucky an occasional reef shark.
