When visiting Bora Bora be sure to:
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.
