Bora Bora, French Polynesia

Volcanic peaks dominate this small, unspoiled island surrounded by miles of aqua lagoons. Most tourists wander the shops, sun on snow-white beaches or swim in the crystalline waters. The best way to see Bora Bora is by renting a jeep, moped or bicycle and traveling the single road that circles the island. Other options include spending the day at the Bora Bora Lagoon Resort or the Hotel Bora Bora, where snorkeling is offered.
