I have been to Bora Bora recently, on my honeymoon in November, and I can assure you that Bora Bora has loads of activities, including jet skiing, parasailing, snorkel yours, ATV tours, and many other things. It does not have ano sort of nightlife whatsoever but that's ok because you're in paradise and you'll be worn out from being in the sun all day. Both the Maldives and Bora Bora are far away from everything but from the Western US Bora Bora would be easier and from the East Coast it's about the same distance to either place. Good luck!
