Even the most urban corners of Bora Bora hide pockets of nature for those willing to walk. Green spaces like Matira Beach offer a breathing room between landmarks — and some of the best views you'll find anywhere in the city. Seek out quieter retreats like Coral Gardens for the calm that the busier parks can't offer.

The audio walking tour can include stops such as Matira Beach — a public beach with powdery white sand and the most swimmable lagoon shore, plus hidden gems like Coral Gardens — a shallow snorkeling site inside the lagoon with vibrant coral and tropical fish and WWII ruins — remnants of an American military supply base including coastal defense guns on the hills.
Use this page as a starting point for a Bora Bora walking tour, a free self-guided route, or the Roamee app for Bora Bora. Roamee Pro keeps the route flexible so you can follow the stops, skip ahead, or explore nearby streets at your own pace.
Bora Bora is known for nature and coastal walks, but between the busy streets, spaces like Matira Beach provide a different kind of experience — calmer, greener, and more grounded than a typical sightseeing route. Quieter spots like Coral Gardens provide the kind of rest that the main attractions cannot.
Most visitors stay at resorts on the motus (small islands) around the lagoon. A lagoon tour by boat is the best way to see the island. The main island is small but hilly.
