World Cruise 2013
January 29, 2013

The ship arrived a its anchor position by Bora Bora at 7:18 AM.  Bora Bora is an island in the Leeward group of the Society Islands of French, Polynesia, an overseas territory of France in the Pacific Ocean.  The island was settled by Tongan people about the 4th century.  While the island was sighted by earlier explorers, James Cook let the first group of Europeans to visit the island in 1777.  In 1842, Bora Bora was officialy made a protectorate of France.  Gora Bora's main attraction is its calm and crystal clear lagoon offering the full array of nautical and land activities.  The waters are said to be some of the most beautiful in the world.

Today I took a tour called "Bora Bora Island Discovery". 

Below are some pictures taken from the ship and from my tour.
