Bora Bora’s idyllic setting makes it a top choice for honeymoons and is certainly the most celebrated island in French Polynesia. And once you glimpse the views of picturesque Mt. Otemanu across the pristine-blue lagoon, you’ll understand it’s popularity. Bora Bora offers some of the finest luxury resorts you can find. Availability may dictate resort selection (overwater bungalows are the first to sell out). If you have a resort preference, BOOK EARLY! Also, all resorts offer meal plans (breakfast and dinner), and is recommended for a bit of cost savings and convenience.
Travel to Bora Bora requires that you first fly into Papeete, then take an interisland flight to Bora Bora (or, start your trip on another Tahitian island with interisland flights). From there, you will have a boat transfer to take you to your resort. Our packages include your flights and boat transfers. Day excursions are optional and can be pre-booked with your package.
Getting There
Frequent 45-minute flights operate from Moorea and Papeete, and 20 minute flights from Huahine and Raiatea. Less frequent are flights to/from the Tuamotu Atolls. Flights operated by Air Tahiti.
Things to Do
Many resorts sit across the lagoon from the main island of Bora Bora. At the resort you’ll find snorkeling excellent from your beach or overwater bungalow deck. Popular excursions include island safari tours, and snorkeling trips to swim with sharks and rays.
Helpful Tips
The airport in Bora Bora is on a remote island. You’ll want to arrange your airport-resort transfers in advance (we will always be sure to include this in your travel package if you book with us).
