I have wanted to come to Bora Bora since I first heard about it in my 20's and when I swore it was calling my name in my 30's!! It did not disappoint, one of the most gorgeous lagoons I have seen to date.
Below is a 360 degree video a couple of our adventurous hikers filmed after they climbed atop the volcano. Kona Jim is a tad out of breath after that trek but the view in all directions is so stunning I had to share.
We explored the island and surrounding lagoon by land on a 4 x 4 quad in the morning and by afternoon over sea via a jet ski! Bosco drove both vehicles and had a blast and I hung on for dear life and tried to film it whiz by! Highlights below with last video showing locals who like to ride our tenders wake every time we head back to ship - cool past time!

MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL ! Hope you all had lots of Family time and got to spend time doing the traditions you love!
Making coconut cream is such a big part of the Samoan culture I feel compelled to share the 4 step process we were so nicely shown. Every Samoan young and old takes part in this tradition, it is an intrigue part of their everyday lives.
The tour today was focused on the National Park but we also got a lot of insight into American Samoa's history and current day life. Our guide was Nini and she is a college student studying accounting and finance and works as a part-time guide.
