History of Bora Bora Island - The Past Origin

Any traveler would want to know the magical history of Bora Bora Island. Its stunning beauty and unspoiled resources made this tiny island one of the world's greatest paradise. With its serene lagoon and stunning views of the mountain, surely, one would wonder about the history of Bora Bora Island.

Bora Bora is a volcanic island located in the Pacific that lies 240 kilometers north west of Tahiti in the Leeward Society Islands. It is also approximately 2,600 miles south of another tropical wonder, Hawaii. Home to more than 4,000 people, its warm, tepid and shallow waters makes it the perfect location for sun worshippers.

The history of Bora Bora Island started in 1722, when it was first discovered. The Tongan people were the first settlers of the seven-million-year-old island. Its ancient name of Vava'u hints that Tongans played an important part of the history of Bora Bora Island Historians also believed that the history of Bora Bora Island started when brave Tongan settlers sailed using their canoes through the Teavanui Pass. In 1842, Bora Bora became a dependent political territory of France.

Another fascinating fact of the history of Bora Bora Island is that in Tahitian language, there is no "B", so the 16.9 square mile island's actual name was then Pora Pora or "first born".

The World War II also played a significant part of the history of Bora Bora.Island. The attack on Pearl Harbor made by Japan forced US to join the World War II. The United States then decided to set up a base in Bora Bora. After the war, when the base officially closed on June 2, 1946, many US staff were smitten with the island and they refused to leave. Those who stayed were removed by force. The World War II airstrip, used by US forces then, was the only international Airport of the French Polynesia until the Faa International Airport was opened in Tahiti in 1962.

The history of Bora Bora also includes a Hotel Bora Bora, the first hotel to build the over-the-water bungalows more than thirty years ago. At present, over-the-water bungalows are a standard feature of Bora Bora resorts.

Visitors to Bora Bora can explore the stunning and spectacular island using the mountain bikes or a motor canoe. Activities include snorkeling, swimming, scuba diving, barbeque parties, picnic on top of Mt. Pahia, fish feeding, parasailing and canoe excursions. For foreigners, boutiques in the hotels are stocked with souvenirs, pearls, shirts, suntan lotion and camera film. So come to this beautiful island and see its magical past.

Scuba Diving - Plan Your First Scuba Diving Trip in Tahiti

Scuba diving is adventurous, magical, and fear-inspiring all at the same time. Even advanced divers report that they feel some form of mild trepidation or anxiety each time that they set out for a dive. If this is true of advanced divers, first-time divers need all of the encouragement and help that they can get to ensure that their first experience is more adventurous and magical than it is a time for white-knuckled grasps and knee clapping.

One of the best places for beginner scuba divers is the islands of Tahiti and the waters of French Polynesia. This is because numerous shallow scuba diving sites perfect for novice divers abound in Tahiti. Added to this is the amazing experience that can be found on the dry lands of Tahiti. And since novice divers are likely to tire of the underwater scene faster than advanced divers, having some activities to do after the gear comes off is just as important as having great diving sites.

Planning a scuba diving trip in Tahiti can be quite an undertaking. If it is your first time, you likely have many questions and do not know where to begin to sort everything out. To help you get started planning, here are a few of the most common questions facing those undertaking an expedition in Tahiti for the first time:

With so many dive centers and destinations in Tahiti, how will I decide which one is right for me? Booking a trip in Tahiti is a challenge for anyone due to the abundance of options available. For the first-time diver, contacting a scuba diving travel specialist is strongly encouraged. Like a travel agent for divers, a dive travel specialist will help you choose the dive shops, resorts, and locations that are perfect for your skill level. As you can imagine, this can save you a great deal of research and anxiety.

What should I pack? Packing for your first adventure can be difficult if you first don't become familiar with your equipment. Be sure to study up on all of the equipment that you will need to go diving and create a packing checklist. This will prevent you from forgetting an expensive piece of equipment. Also check with your airline about their luggage policies and weight limits before flying out to Tahiti.

How many scuba diving activities should I schedule for my first trip to Tahiti? Even though you are no doubt excited to do this and wish to see everything possible during your stay in Tahiti, you should avoid scheduling too many underwater activities. Strive to create the perfect balance between dives and other attractions.

Tahiti is an ideal location for those looking for the perfect scuba diving vacation. Whether you're just beginning diving or a diver with advanced skill, you will find numerous dive sites perfectly suited for you and your family.

What Do I Do When I Visit Hawaii? Hike to a Green Sand Beach at the Point Farthest South in the US!

Introduction: Haunting, windswept, wild, empty, beautiful. Imagine the gratitude and wonder of the first Polynesians who, after voyaging at sea without sight of land for more than a month, finally made land here at Ka Lae. This sweeping landscape arches openly and inviting from the tumultuous shore break at Ka Lae to the icy heights of Mauna Kea's summit almost 14,000 feet above.

South Point is the farthest point south in the entire United States...not Key West Florida, as some guidebooks claim. The road to Ka Lae from the Hawai'i Belt Road is infamous, but has been greatly improved in recent years, although it's still only 1-lane wide in many places. Even today some rental agencies admonish you not to take their cars down this road. Relax. The road is fine, although blind turns and hills command your attention and should curb your desire to speed. Also, all the roads, beaches, boat launching facilities and parking are free and public, despite what some signs and unsavory characters might try to tell you. Just don't leave valuables in your car, and be sure to lock it up (there also is no "Visitor's Center", contrary to the sign).

Along the road to Ka Lae are the brooding and dilapidated wind turbines of the Kamaoa Wind Farm. This wind farm, when all of the turbines are operating, can generate enough electricity to power 100 homes; unfortunately, usually 1/3 to ½ of the turbines are out of service at any given time. The surreal setting on the green plain with the cows grazing unconcernedly, coupled with the eerie, "sci-fi" sound of the generators makes this a unique place to stop, look and listen.

At South Point proper are a number of dilapidated structures and foundation ruins. The Army had a barracks here during World War II; the paved road was built in 1955; during the sixties, the Navy built a missile tracking station which the Air Force later took over and renamed South Point Air Force Station, which closed in 1978.

History: The Polynesian pioneers who first reached South Point routinely made incredible voyages that put European seafaring and exploration of a millennium later to shame. More than a thousand years before Columbus, in tiny, twin-hulled canoes that were entirely of carved wood lashed together, using no nails or wooden pegs and employing sails made of tree bark, Polynesians embarked on a voyages that were thousands of miles farther than those of Christopher Columbus, and without the aid of a compass or charts with which to navigate. Using the stars, currents, patterns of migration of the birds and fish, patterns in the waves, water temperature and the color of the undersides of clouds, these explorers navigated, explored, sailed and paddled all across the Pacific spreading their culture, language and peoples at the time when the Roman Empire was crumbling and centuries before the Age of Vikings.

It is thought that voyagers from the Marquesas first landed on Hawai'i, at South Point, quite early in the fourth Century AD; certainly the earliest archeological artifacts found in the Hawai'ian Islands are found here. At Ka Lae the Polynesians established a thriving colony based upon the incredibly rich fishing grounds just offshore. The colony was connected to the rest of Polynesia by trade routes to the Southern Islands and regular trade and travel between the Marquesas, Marshals, and Tahiti continued for centuries. Evidence of their colony can be found at Kalalae Heiau, just below the light tower at the Point.

The small, but extremely well-preserved, Kalalae heiau is classified as a ko'a, or fishing shrine, to the god Ku'ula. Just below the shrine and in the rocks to the west, one can find grooves and holes cut into the rock. These are attachment and guide points for anchor lines for ancient fishing canoes. The currents at Ka Lae are so strong, and flow uninterrupted to Antarctica, that Hawai'ians could not fish and keep their canoes from being driven away simultaneously, so they fed ropes, secured to the rocks out to the canoes, to keep them from drifting away with the currents.

Like most animists, Hawai'ians invested worship and respect and intuited spiritual power in a range of natural objects and phenomena: rain, volcanic eruptions, the sea, sharks, fresh water springs, the surf and rocks, among many others. Pohaku O Kane, or sacred rocks, were among the most common spiritual objects of worship, whether they were naturally occurring in the landscape (pohakuia loa), or set on platforms (pohaku amakua) or carved (pohaku iki). Kalalae Heiau has numerous examples of the former two. On the main platform outside the heiau is a pohaku amakua referred to as "Kumaiea" which means "female". On the smaller stone terrace just north is another standing stone associated with the god Kanaloa and referred to as "Kanemakua" (male). Inside the heiau wall is a stone called "Ku'ula" after the patron god of fishermen; north of the structure stand Makaunulau (named for a navigational star) and 'Ai'ai (a dependent or ward), south is Wahine hele ("place from where the women leave"). Examples of pohakuia loa include the Pohakuwa'a Kauhi (literally "canoe rock by the shrubs") right at the shoreline, which was used to focus meditations before long canoes journeys, and Pohakuokeau ("stone of the currents" or "stone of the years"), which stands offshore. The name Pohakuokeau reflects the Hawaiian belief that the stones would turn over when there was a political change in government.

Hike to Green Sand Beach: Absolutely unique to the island of Hawai'i, beautiful and strange, are the handful of green sand beaches composed of crystals of the semi-precious mineral olivine (also known as peridot). The green sand beach at South Point is the best known, largest and most accessible of these.

The sand grains on this beach are formed from olivine crystals weathering out of the lava and cinders from the cone over an eruptive vent that has been partially breached by the sea. The beach lies in the interior of the cone, and the somewhat protected cove formed by the remnant of the cone makes for a wonderful swimming/snorkeling spot. Be very wary of currents and do not go out far nor in at all if the surf is high or there are strong winds. The bizarre color of the water shrieks for color photographs, particularly underwater photographs taken while snorkeling.

To get there, turn left onto a signed, patchy-paved and dirt road immediately when you arrive in the Ka Lae area following signs to the Kaulana boat launch. Proceed down the road and park just to the left (south) of the Kaulana boat launch, where there is a dirt road that leads to the green sand beach; there is gate ¼ mile down this road. The gate is almost always locked and the road primarily provides access for hiking, ATVs or mountain biking: private vehicles are prohibited. Hiking distance is 2 ¼ miles each way along rolling tropical prairie (and if you cannot envision that, you really need to do this hike). Despite the multiplicity of dirt roads, you really cannot get lost as you are never out of sight of the shore.

When you reach the end of the trail, you are a hundred or so feet above the beach on the rim of the remnant of the crater. Look closely for the faint track to scramble safely and easily to the beach (there is occasionally a blue trash barrel to mark this spot, but always there is a cairn of rocks). There is one sort of tricky spot where you have to inch your way over a 3-foot ledge, but almost anybody from senior to child can negotiate the hike to the beach. One can also easily scramble down from the middle (easternmost) of the cone where there is a short ladderway at the top, but this can be slippery. Although tricky to spot on the way down, from the beach looking up, either way back to the crater rim is easy to follow.

Snorkeling: The waters at South Point are wild, crystalline turquoise and wicked. It is obvious from the surf and the currents that swimming is right out along most of this coastline. However in a few protected areas by the boat hoists there is reportedly safe snorkeling, close to the cliffs and only when the sea is calm. Hardy spear fishermen with mask and fins tether themselves with ropes to the steel ladders in the cliff-side; this is obviously risky for the casual snorkeler. The only recommended snorkeling is at the Kaulana boat launch or at the Green Sand Beach and then only in calm seas. But it is beautiful; perhaps as beautiful and wild a spot to snorkel as anywhere in Hawai'i.

No Services. At all. None. And a goodly long way to drive to get to any...plan and act accordingly.

Auckland Travel - Auckland Sightseeing for the Non Tourist

Auckland is the gateway to New Zealand, the City of Sails, and the largest city in the country, which can make it seem overwhelming. However, there's more to the city than the harbor, and with these tips you're sure to make the most of your time, whether you have a few hours or a few weeks.

The Best Place to Pick up a Trinket: The Saturday morning Otara market is so popular it's spawned a local TV "soapie." For travelers, it's a great place to experience the city's cultural mix (especially its proud Polynesian heritage) as well as pick up cheap crafts.

A Favorite Local Getaway: Waiheke Island is New Zealand's Martha's Vineyard. Visitors will love its beaches, views, vineyards, and proximity to the 52 islands of the Hauraki Gulf.

An Exhilarating and Accessible Adventure: This big city is filled with dormant volcanoes that are offering great hiking and sightseeing. If you are short on time, hop on a quick boat to the Rangitoto Island atoll for a worthwhile climb to its summit.

Where to Celebrate a Special Occasion: Rarely has a top restaurant been able to maintain its precarious position for more than a year or two, but the French Café continues to evolve and astound. For the best sampling indulge in Chef Simon Wright's tasting menu (with paired wines).

Best Place for a Quick Bite: If you're looking for great food and a laid-back atmosphere, you can't beat the Lower Queen Street Asian Foodcourt's cheap and hearty Asian delicacies.

For some reason, always seem to be fantasy stories on a desert island, stranded as a bad thing. Books like "The Lord of the Flies, Cast Away, like movies and television shows such as Lost constitute such a terrible ordeal that you are lucky enough to survive. But if you ask me, aside from the obvious problems such as food and shelter, how to lift some tropical desert island sounds great. At least, if you sold the nature of the island depicted in these stories, you have access to a beach,good fishing, the trees to build a rain shelter and regular drinking water. Sure, I'd probably want to get off the island at some point, but rescuers could take their time to complete.

There are obvious difficulties in this type of vacation, of course, the islands most important, it is extremely difficult, and uninhabited 1), 2), pictorial, are 3) are sure to find, and open to 4)Tourists. However, as a growing trend holiday desert island, it is likely that governments and individuals, the islands themselves will start to take this potentially lucrative business.

Yes, what are the regions of the world, most likely the right type of conditions for the desert island are on holiday?
