Blacktip Reef Shark confirmed 3 months agoPeak season now

Tupitipiti Point

Bora Bora · French Polynesia

The southwestern tip of Bora Bora's barrier reef where ocean meets lagoon at a dramatic rocky point. Currents here concentrate fish life year-round: dense schools of snapper and surgeonfish, hawksbill turtles feeding on sponge, and grey reef sharks that appear without warning from the blue. In summer months hammerheads have been recorded cruising the deep edge. The terrain — tumbled basalt blocks, coral outcrops, and sand patches — gives divers good structure to shelter behind when currents run hard.
