This looks like a heck of a lot of fun: Guests at Starwood's Le Méridien Bora Bora resort have a great opportunity to try a unique water activity and learn about the seafaring traditions of the ancient Tahitians at the same time. The hotel's Kaïnalu Canoë Club offers guests the chance to go out on the ocean in traditional dugout canoes (pictured), a symbol of Polynesian heritage and an impressive example of the sophisticated boat-building skills of the South Pacific islanders. Adventurous guests paddle to the rhythm of the wind and waves on guided canoe trips, enjoying amazing views of the island and exploring what many consider the most beautiful lagoon in the world. Le Meridien Bora Bora is the first hotel to reintroduce the outrigger canoe, but it's just one of many ways guests can connect to this magical environment, with its lush tropical rain forests and azure lagoon. Over water bungalows feature a glass-bottomed floor, perfect for observing the sea life from the comfort of your room, and those guests who want to get even closer to the undersea world can swim with graceful sea turtles in the resort's Turtle Sanctuary, which is dedicated to saving the magnificent green sea turtle. Whether you're looking for action, relaxation, or a blend of both, you'll find it in abundance at this Pacific paradise.
