Posted by QuickReadAbout.com Staff in For over 40 years, Bora Bora has been frequented by tourists from all over the world. Hailed to be the most beautiful island in the world, the living in Bora Bora is so relaxing, as there is always something for everyone in Bora Bora.
For those who simply wish to just relax and unwind, the island’s beaches and pools are irresistible. Actively inclined persons could take their pick from a number of activities and sports. From scuba diving, to snorkeling, to playing tennis or volleyball, all kinds of sports can be played. Outings and other interesting excursions are also available. Guided 4×4 trips around the island, catamaran cruises, glass-bottom boat trips and shark-feeding trips are among the more popular adventures offered in Bora Bora travel packages.
The Exotic Lagoonarium in Bora Bora is one of the most popular “items” in the island.
A Lagoonarium is basically an outdoor aquarium. It specializes in showcasing the thriving marine live of a lagoon, giving guests an up close view of the marvels under the sea.
In French Polynesia, there are two lagoonariums frequented by vacationers and tourists. One can be found in Tahiti, and the other in Bora Bora. The Exotic Lagoonarium in Bora Bora is somewhat more well known, as it is the larger of the two lagoonariums in French Polynesia. Another x-factor that makes the exotic lagoonarium in Bora Bora more popular is that visitors can actually swim with the various marine creatures in the lagoon.
Guests are actually encouraged to do so, armed with a snorkel and mask. Of course, socializing with the amazing creatures in the exotic lagoonarium isn’t just something guests do alone. Trained guides dive next to the lagoonarium’s visitors, showing guests the best ways of getting close with the lagoon’s residents.
Knowledge in scuba diving isn’t necessarily required, which makes a trip to the exotic lagoonarium an enjoyable, amazing experience, for friends and family. Most of the native creatures in Bora Bora’s lagoon can be found in the lagoonarium. Manta Rays and Humpback ways aren’t included though, as it is illegal to place them in captivity.
Rays, sharks, turtles and many other ocean fish swim freely in the lagoonairum, and have been used to human interaction, making it safe for visitors to swim alongside them.
A popular “event” in Bora Bora’s exotic lagoonarium, Shark and Ray feeding exhibitions also occur on a daily basis. Trained staff, who have studied these creatures behaviors and physiology, demonstrate their skills, as guests get to see, up close, the actual feeding of sharks and rays.
The exotic lagoonarium in Bora Bora. Truly an experience worth remembering.
