Much Love for Bora Bora & Rangiroa!


Our clients, Barbara and Kevin Murphy, are avid travelers who love the South Pacific. They recently returned from Tahiti and they’ve shared with us a few photos and highlights from their trip. We sent them to Bora Bora, where they stayed at the InterContinental Bora Bora Resort & Thalasso Spa, and to Rangiroa, where they stayed at the newly renovated Hotel Kia Ora.
