Bora Bora, TAHITI
Airing Date: Sep 15th, 2003
At Bora Bora everywhere you look there are picture postcards views spoiling you.
Turquoise lagoons swarming with fish, palm trees gently swaying in the warm ocean breeze, and soft white sand. The perfect place for you and your partner to relax and enjoy the heavenly qualities that are spread out before you.
Four out of five guests who stay at Club Med in Bora Bora are couples. Whether they're newly weds, on an anniversary or seeking romance in an exotic destination this place is the perfect place for love.
Tahiti has a reputation as being quite expensive, but Club Med offers package holidays that are all inclusive - that means all accommodation, all meals and all resort activities. So that means less stress and more time for love.
There are 150 air-conditioned Polynesian-style bures, each with a balcony or a terrace, a buffet restaurant where you can enjoy three delicious meals a day and a heap of leisure activities like tennis, kayaking and beach volleyball.
Days can be filled with snorkelling, eating and swimming, but if you don't mind parting with a bit of extra cash then there's one activity that's definitely worth a try.
It involves meeting a bunch of friendly stingrays! After the boat heads out into the lagoon, you put on your reef walkers and jump into the water. The stingrays swim up to you in an excited and curious manner and during the session your skipper will teach you how to touch, cuddle and even kiss these fascinating creatures.
Another popular activity is horse riding. Grab your partner and you can both enjoy a delightful ride through shallow water that laps up onto isolated beaches.
Or, for something more extravagant, why not renew your vows in a traditional Tahitian wedding ceremony. This might be the perfect way to say 'I love you always' but it'll put a dent in your wallet because ceremonies don't come cheap at $1300.
The facts
Club Med packages start from $2915 which includes flights from Australia, transfers, six nights accommodation, all meals with beer or wine and a stack of things to do.
