Day 1 - 5-Hour 4x4 Jeep and Jet Ski Cultural Island Tour with Lunch

4×4 Jeep Island Tour

Begin your day at 9 am with a jeep island tour to visit American WWII cannon. Circle the island with your professional and experienced guide. 

Learn the island’s legends, visit an ancient temple, and meet a local family who will serve you fruit from their plantation.

Lunch at Bloody Mary’s

Barren Jerzy Hubert Edward Von Dangel, a Polish man and Australian citizen known as Baron George in international circles, opened Bloody Mary’s in November 1979. The restaurant was built of jungle timber and bamboo to create the charm and romance of the islands that James A. Michener presented in his book “Tales of the South Pacific”.

Walking into the restaurant at Bloody Mary’s is like suddenly being inside a Hollywood movie set. On the “wall of fame” out front of the restaurant, George printed a long list of famous personalities who had dined at Bloody Mary’s.

People go to Bloody Mary’s restaurant expecting to have a good time, as well as to enjoy some good food. Some also go there in the hope of seeing a famous movie or television star, or a well-known singer. “On any given night anything can happen”!

Jet Ski Tour

Jet ski around the island of Bora Bora and stop for a swim along the way. 

You can choose one or two jet skis.
