The famous photo everyone is supposed to take when getting off the boat. That’s Mt Otemanu, on the main island. We are on a barrier island about a mile east of the mountain, one of many that surround the main island.
We made it to our destination at about 3pm today. I can’t get over how stunning it is here…we are at the hotel where they filmed the comedy “Couples Retreat” and it runs 24/7 on one of the TV channels in the rooms.
We are happy to be done with the travel…look forward to a lazy day tomorrow exploring the resort and snorkeling outside our bungalow.
Not long after our arrival, we enjoyed a sunset “champagne sabering” with a champagne toast. A St. Regis Hotel tradition.

Small Plane Selfie! It’s an Air Tahiti puddle jumper to take you across the various islands. It’s an ATR 42; ATR is a French-Italian plane manufacturer.We flew right over the bungalows. Ours would be the 4th from the left, on the bottom row.Welcome to Bora Bora Airport!This was awesome — this is the baggage claim area. The little trailer pulls up, and the bags are directly delivered to the shelves.We took a boat from the airport to the resort.The color of the water, the sky, the forests, were just so brilliant!
