Hi All Two weeks ago we spent a fantastic week in Perhentian Island, SE Malysia, we are looking for a simillar place for our next July/05 vacation. My question is simple: Is it worthy to travel all this distance to a rather expensive place like Bora Bora ! and if the answer is NO, what is the alternative! Our main interset is nice tropical island, snorklling, some diving, little water activities, night life is not a must. need help and advice.
I recently visited the island of Bora Bora for the second time. In my opinion, it's really worth the flight and money. It's an unique experience. I've just updated my Bora Bora page, have a look for more info: http://www.virtualtourist.com/m/2ce34/1d1c2c/.
If you have enough time and money, combine Bora Bora with one or more of the other islands of French Polynesia. All the islands are beautiful with their own caracteristics. Some nice island are Moorea, Maupiti, Huahine and Raiatea.
