Bora bora lagoon & cultural tour - Bora-Bora
1) OTI’A ARE => THE MEANING
Specialized in private tours, the canoe can accommodate up to 12 people.
Oti’a = Limit
Are = Wave
All guests who come on board will have an authentic experience in complete safety thanks to the sea/waves (Are) which form a protective barrier (boundary) all around it.
You will find the strong symbols that appear there:
- The turtle represents longevity
- The sun represents success and brilliance
- Braids represent the family bond
- The waves because the sea is our playground The majestic manta ray
