The Sofitel Motu pano from the high point on the island. In the distance, you can see Mt. Otemanu. This is where we went for our honeymoon.

Taking advantage of all the overwater bungalow has to offer.

The dinner show on the beach at the Hotel Bora Bora. I've seen several luau's in Hawaii, but none compared to the show we witnessed on the beach of Bora Bora. Less than 20 people in attendance, interaction with the crowd, and amazing music. Although it was a bit expenseive, we thoroughly enjoyed this night (and the all you can eat lobster tail).

Desserted beach on Motu Tapu, Small island within Bora Bora's lagoon.

A lone palm along the desserted beaches of Motu Tapu. I still have a hard time believing we were lucky enough to spend an entire day on this island by ourselves.

The transportation du jour. This boat took us on an adventure to Motu Tapu near the only pass into Bora Bora's lagoon. We hauled only the essentials: sunscreen and beer. We had Motu Tapu to ourselves for the entire afternoon.

Leaning tree, Mount Pahia, and Vaitape in the distance

Looking down at the lagoon from the hillside at the Sofitel Motu. This picture was taken on the last day of our trip...we contemplated making a little hut on the hillside to see how long we could hide out before the hotel found us and escorted us away :)

Taken from the summit of the Sofitel Motu hill. We really miss this lagoon. Never before have we visited such a magical place. My suggestion to you....if you have only one place to visit in the world, go to an island in French Polynesia. These islands have more natural beauty than any other place we've visited.
