Bora Bora Adventures For a Thrilling Trip

Many tourists come to Tahiti Polynesia to visit the Bora Bora Island. Bora Bora is really a fascinating place to sit under the sun to relax and enjoy the view but not all tourists want to just lounge around or go sight-seeing. Some tourists are into different adventures.

There are several exciting adventures that you can try in Bora Bora. You can explore the interior lands riding 4x4 trucks, catch marlins on board a luxurious fishing cruise, hike the hills of the island or you can go scuba diving and feed sharks and manta rays.

Checkout the guide below to pick the Bora Bora adventures of your choice:

• 4x4 Safaris – The Island of Bora Bora has a lot of roads that can only be accessed by four-wheel drive trucks and vehicles. These roads were actually made by the United States Military in the early 1940’s.

On top of the hills you can have a spectacular view of the surrounding islands and mountains. A 4x4 land excursion is usually run by Bora Bora locals who are knowledgeable about the island’s history so that tourists can learn more about the island during the trip.

• Sport Fishing – Sport fishing is also a favorite among Bora Bora adventures. The waters of Bora Bora are filled with many different species of huge game fish that are normally found in the deep ocean outside the lagoon. These species include Marlin, swordfish, giant tuna and many more.

• Shark and Manta Ray feeding excursion – This is probably considered as the most popular among Bora Bora adventures. There are several snorkeling and scuba diving operators that offer manta ray dives and shark-feeding dives.

• Parasailing – This type of adventure is also a major thrill and people of all ages can actually do it. It would normally take you about ten minutes to go up 600 feet above the water and you do not really have to know how to water ski. All that you need to do is clip into the harness and then step on top of the extra wide deck attached to a specialized towboat where you will take off upon reaching a certain speed. As the boat speeds up, your parachute catches wind that will take you high up in the air. Once you are high above the air, you will be able to get an amazing view of the island water and the mountains.

Bora Bora Island is a very wonderful place to visit and it is a must that you try out at least one of the several adventures mentioned above.
