OVERVIEW

Cruise the Kailea Princess catamaran around Bora Bora’s breathtaking lagoon, a sea of blues and greens dotted with beach-rimmed islets known as “motus.” As you sail along, you can’t help but be struck by the uninterrupted panoramic views. Many people consider Bora Bora to be the most beautiful island in French Polynesia, and it has been the backdrop for countless movies, including “Mutiny on the Bounty” with Marlon Brando. The main island is especially photogenic, as it is volcanic in origin, alluringly mountainous and lushly landscaped. The surroundings look even more spectacular at sunset, a time of day when the sky reflects an ever-changing palette of colors and the water sparkles like a field of diamonds. Since being discovered in 1722, Bora Bora has continued to gain fame for its boundless beauty and impossibly clear water, the ideal setting for this memorable sunset cruise.
