Bora Bora, Society Islands, French Polynesia
Marvel at Bora Bora's warm hospitality and rich culture, and at the unspoiled beauty of its blue lagoons. Snorkel among rainbow-colored fish in pristine coral gardens and hand-feed graceful stingrays.
If you tried, it would be hard to design two such diverse landmarks as the Great Barrier Reef and the Sydney Opera House, yet each of these UNESCO World Heritage sites is the stage for great performances. Under the Southern Cross, nature – palm-fringed South Sea islands, talcum-soft Australian beaches, New Zealand's emerald fjords – competes with urban 'scapes of Scottish brick and wrought iron or Art Deco. Altogether it creates an enjoyable mélange with almost magnetic powers of attraction.
Savor the delights of Sydney with its iconic Opera House and Harbour Bridge. Discover ancient fishing traditions in Vanuatu and chic boutiques in Nouméa, and revel in the lovely blue-green lagoons and colorful corals of Île de Pins.
