Day 1: Use day one to cannonball right into the waters at one of the world's prettiest beaches. Most tourists dip their toes in the sand at Matira beach. For a more isolated experience track the sand in the direction of Vaitape Village, where the coast curves to a spectacular bay that's short on crowds and long on calm. Do a little snorkeling and fall asleep under a coconut tree - this life isn't just for postcards!
Day 2: Elevate your itinerary on day two with a trip to the majestic Mount Otemanu. The Pixaresque confines of this 2,385 foot extinct volcano offer the best view on the island whether you hike up or take a 4X4 tour through the lush forest. The mountain is just as appreciated from any of the lagoon boat tours below.
Day 3: Day three is all about shopping, art, and culture. Head to the southern part of Circle Island Road for a ton of boutique shops selling Bora Bora's trademark black pearls, shell leis, carvings, and woven baskets. You might also consider getting a tattoo: the word 'tattoo' originated in the area and some traditional artists keep the original spirit alive.
Bora Bora in august
Even though it's winter August in Bora Bora is actually the preferred time to visit due to its miniscule monthly rainfall numbers. With just five centimetres of rain monthly and eight hours of daily sunshine at an average daytime high of 28 you'll find some of the most spectacular weather around. Sea temperatures dip to a 'mere' 27 degrees in August but it's still a couple of degrees warmer than the Mediterranean at its summer peak
August brings The Heiva, the biggest annual festival in all of Tahiti. Here it's all about showing off traditional Polynesian costumes, skills, and music. Popular events include the Mr. and Mrs. Tahiti pageant and competitions involving different skills like palm tree climbing and coconut opening. On Bora Bora you'll find the celebrations in Vaitape.
