     When I was in primary school, I love to see mother of nature because it gives me a feel of peace which difficult to find in this real world. (Ecece..ajet2 je.. haha)

 “ …Maka, Lihatlah berulang-ulang!...” Lihatlah sekali lagi, untuk menegaskan dan memantapkan. “ Adakah kamu melihat sesuatu yang tidak seimbang?”  ( Al-Mulk: 3) 

         From this ayat, we know that, which part in this world is not beautiful? Because all of these nature are created by Allah s.w.t.  So, I always daydream during my leisure and imagine I will go somewhere to find the nice places like what I’ve dreamed. One day, I try to ‘google’ the beautiful places in this world that I’ve never ever seen before. Then ..jeng..jeng..jeng.. I found Bora Bora Island. Maigad! This is one of the awesome places which is as same as my imagination before. Until now, I still looking Bora Bora photos at the other website and instagram as well. And.. Today, I want to share about Bora Bora Island. 

First and foremost, Bora Bora is an island in the Leeward group of the Society Islands of French Polynesia, an overseas collectivity of France in the Pacific Ocean. The island, located about 230 kilometres (143 miles) northwest of Papeete, is surrounded by a lagoon and a barrier reef. In the centre of the island are the remnants of an extinct volcano rising to two peaks, Mount Pahia and Mount Otemanu, the highest point at 727 metres (2,385 feet).Bora Bora is a major international tourist destination, famous for its aqua-centric luxury resorts. The major settlement, Vaitape, is on the western side of the main island, opposite the main channel into the lagoon. Produce of the island is mostly limited to what can be obtained from the sea and the plentiful coconut trees, which were historically of economic importance for copra. According to a 2008 census, Bora Bora has a permanent population of 8,880. 

   Today the island's economy is driven almost solely by tourism. Over the last few years several resorts have been built on motu (small islands, from Tahitian) surrounding the lagoon. Hotel Bora Bora opened in 1961, and nine years later built the first over-the-waterbungalows on stilts over the lagoon. Today, over-water bungalows are a standard feature of most Bora Bora resorts. The quality of those bungalows ranges from comparably cheap, basic accommodations to very luxurious and expensive places to stay.

    

        Most of the tourist destinations are aqua-centric; however it is possible to visit attractions on land such as WWII cannons. Air Tahiti has five or six flights daily to the Bora Bora Airport on Motu Mute from Tahiti (as well as from other islands). The island is served by Bora Bora Airport on Motu Mute in the north, with Air Tahiti providing daily flights to and from Papeete on Tahiti.Public transport on the island is nonexistent. Rental cars and bicycles are the recommended methods of transport. There are also small, two-seater buggies for hire in Vaitape. It is possible to rent a motorboat to explore the lagoon.

            Snorkeling and scuba diving in and around the lagoon of Bora Bora are popular activities. Many species of sharks and rays inhabit the surrounding body of water. There are a few dive operators on the island offering manta ray dives and also shark-feeding dives.In addition to the existing islands of Bora Bora, the new manmade motu of Motu Marfo has been added in the northeastern corner of the lagoon on the property of the St. Regis Resort.       Last but not least, there are a lot of beautiful pictures from Bora Bora Island, and these pictures are taken at Four seaons Bora bora and these pictures come from some of world millionaires such as Timothy Sykes and etc. Check him out for the Millionare Lifestyle.
