Introduction
When Captain Cook first discovered Bora Bora in 1769, he named it the ‘pearl of the Pacific'. Nearly 250 years later and it remains the archetypal image of a tropical paradise, from the top of its highest point, Mount Otemanu, to the bottom of the reefs that hide its flawless black pearls.
With a reputation for beauty and romance, it's no surprise to see swooning couples and celebrity guests at its 5-star resorts, many of which have bungalows that perch above the ocean, granting easy access to an underwater world of manta rays, sharks and tropical fish.
