 "Bora-Bora Island Paradise in France"

Bora Bora is not only a delicious drink, it is arguably the most beautiful island on the Earth. It is situated about 160 miles northwest of Tahiti and was discovered in 1722.
This island took its name from the local Tahitian language and since there is no “B,” in it, so the island is actually called Pora Pora, and means “first born.”
Bora Bora is a volcanic island surrounded by coral reefs and stunningly beautiful lagoon. French is spoken here and the population is 4, 650, land area – 44 sq km (16.9 sq miles). The climate is very warm and humid, mostly sunny weather.
As far as this island depends on tourism, it is besieged by luxurious resorts and hotels (I like the most their bungalows on stilts), they offer unforgettable views on mountains and the lagoon.
Bora Bora is perfect for snorkeling, shark feeding excursions and even scuba diving.
