Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora has its own fleet for one-hour to full-day excursions. The latter choice is easily the most popular.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA private Sunset Sushi and Champagne Cruise is an incredibly romantic experience,\u201d says Romain Chanet, General Manager of the Resort. \u201cNot only do you get to see the beautiful colours of Bora Bora\u2019s lagoon and sky change with the sunset, but you get to do so with your loved one while enjoying the perfect pairing of fresh sushi and champagne.
