Matira Beach: Relax on Matira Beach, known for its powdery white sand and postcard-perfect sunsets. This is quite possibly the best beach and one of the most popular in Bora Bora.
Mount Otemanu Hike: For the adventurous souls, hiking Mount Otemanu offers breathtaking panoramic views of the island and its surrounding lagoons.
Local Cuisine
There is no shortage of amazing food on Bora Bora, from food trucks to sunset dinner cruises and high-end restaurants there is something for everyone, but no trip to Bora Bora is complete without trying some of the amazing local cuisine! Here are just a few options to get your mouth watering.
Poisson Cru: Try the famous "poisson cru," a refreshing dish of raw fish marinated in coconut milk and lime—a delightful taste of the South Pacific.
Tama'ara'a: Sample "tama'ara'a," a traditional Tahitian feast featuring an abundance of fresh seafood, roasted pig, and tropical fruits.
Fafa: If you're a vegan or just like vegetables, make sure to try some fafa. Made from the leaf of the taro plant, some dishes do contain meat but it can also be ordered as a side dish for a delicious vegetarian option.
For dessert, try some Po'e, a dish made of local mango, papaya and bananas and transforms them into a pudding covered in coconut sauce, or firi firi - donuts shaped in a figure eight. These are traditionally dipped in coffee for the perfect after dinner sweet.
