If you need to shorten the itinerary, skip the optional shark‑and‑ray feeding on Day 7 and fly directly from Bora Bora to Delhi after Day 6; this will keep the total spend well within the INR 3 lakh budget while still enjoying the key highlights. Recommended travel planners include Thomas Cook India (Premium), Cox & Kings Luxury, and Travelguru’s “Polynesian Luxury” package, all of which handle visas, flight coordination, and bespoke hotel selections.
