Bora Bora — 2 nights

There's a reason why many consider Bora Bora the most romantic island in the world.
On the 10th (Sat), look for gifts at Baldini perles and then get up close to creatures of the deep with Reef Discovery Bora Bora. Get ready for a full day of sightseeing on the next day: tour the pleasant surroundings at Bora Bora Turtle Centre, stroll through Leopard Rays Trench, and then take in the architecture and atmosphere at Paroisse Saint Pierre-Celestin Church.

For where to stay, more things to do, other places to visit, and other tourist information, use the Bora Bora vacation planner.

French Polynesia travel guide

4.4
Spanning an area of the South Pacific as large as Western Europe, French Polynesia includes 118 islands and atolls scattered across the blue ocean. White sand beaches (and pink and black) skirt rugged island peaks, while magnificent coral reefs form tranquil lagoons, dyed a startling blue and teeming with fish, eels, dolphins, rays, turtles, and sharks. The names Tahiti and Bora Bora conjure up images of private thatched bungalows built out over a lagoon, and couples silhouetted against the sunset. That said, a wide range of family-run hotels and bed and breakfasts offer less extravagant (and surprisingly affordable) experiences that take in more of the laid-back local culture.
