Today the island is mainly dependent on tourism. Over the last few years seven high-end resorts have been built on motus (small islands) surrounding the lagoon.
Thirty years ago, Hotel Bora Bora built the first over the water bungalows on stilts over the lagoon and today, overwater bungalows are a standard feature of most Bora Bora resorts. These private bungalows offer stunning views of the lagoon and mountain, easy access into the lagoon and are very luxurious, spacious, and priced accordingly.
Bora Bora's main attraction is its calm and crystal-clear lagoon offering the full array of nautical activities, the most famous being the Shark and Ray Feeding Excursion. There are also land excursion, such as by 4x4 up the hills to see the old WWII cannons and get a bird's-eye-view of the multicolored lagoon.

Air Tahiti has five or six flights daily to the island from Tahiti (as well as from other islands), at a cost of about 14,000 XPF one-way. To conceptualise this price, it is equivalent to around £80 or $149.
Although French and Tahitian are the main languages spoken by the inhabitants, people in contact with tourists generally have some command of English. Most visitors to Bora Bora are American, Japanese, or European.
Public transport on the island is limited, consisting of a single bus that goes halfway around the island and back approximately every hour. Bicycles are the recommended method of transport for tourists. There are also small fun-cars for hire in the little town of Vaitape.
Bora Bora is famous for snorkeling and scuba diving in and around its lagoon. Many species of sharks and rays can be seen in the transparent water. There are a few dive operators on the island offering manta ray dives and shark-feeding dives.

nekolku pati sum bil i nemoj da mislite teka e tolku ubavo.
Na slika mnogu izgledaat ubavi ama drugo e koga ce gi vidis u zivo, nisto posebno.
Ti nemoj mnogu mnogu da komentiras za toa kako izgleda nego fati se seriozno za rabota da sobiras pari za da me odneses tamu.
