Most travelers get around Bora Bora by boat or bicycle. Many hotels and resorts offer free bicycles to their guests. Boat tours and excursions are also available for an additional cost. Taxis are available for those who prefer not to bike or walk. Taxis can be expensive, with prices averaging around $25 for a short ride.
If you have more time, consider taking a day trip to Raiatea and Taha'a, two nearby islands. You can also go scuba diving, parasailing, or take a helicopter tour of Bora Bora. If you have less time, consider skipping the spa day and spending more time exploring the island.
The Bora Bora Airport (BOB), also known as the Motu Mute Airport, is the main airport serving the island. It is located on a separate island and requires a boat transfer to get to the main island. The airport is about 6 km from the center of Vaitape, the main town on the island.
