Moorea is one of the South Pacific islands that is part of the Society Islands, one of the five major island groups that form French Polynesia. The island of Moorea is administratively part of the municipality of Moorea-Maiao, which itself is in the administrative subdivision of the Windward Islands. The island was formed as a volcano approximately 1.5 to 2.5 million years ago, the result of a geologic hotspot in the mantle under the oceanic plate that formed the whole of the Society Archipelago.¹
Bora Bora is an island in the Leeward group of the Society Islands of French Polynesia, an overseas territory of France in the Pacific Ocean. The island was settled by Tongan people about the 4th century. Bora Bora’s main attraction is its calm and crystal clear lagoon offering the full array of nautical and land activities. The waters are said to be some of the most beautiful in the world.
Both of these islands were lovely. We enjoyed walking the beach and adding to our sand collection. :-)
