Start your day with an incredible hike up Mount Otemanu, the highest peak in Bora Bora. The 360-degree view from the top is breathtaking and totally worth the climb. The hike takes about 2-3 hours, and the trails can be steep at times, so wear appropriate footwear.
Bloody Mary’s is a popular celebrity hangout known for its delicious seafood and tropical cocktails. The restaurant has a laid-back atmosphere and friendly service, making it the perfect spot for a relaxed lunch break.
Matira Beach is often described as the most beautiful beach in the world, and it's not hard to see why. The water is crystal clear, and the beach is surrounded by lush greenery. Spend a couple of hours soaking up the sun, swimming, and relaxing on the beach.
End your day with a snorkeling adventure at the Coral Gardens. The colorful coral and marine life here are truly breathtaking. Bring your own snorkeling gear or rent it at the beach. Don't forget to wear sunscreen and bring water.

If you have more time, consider visiting the Bora Bora Lagoonarium, where you can swim with sharks and rays. If you have less time, skip the snorkeling and spend more time lounging on Matira Beach.
