To get to Bora Bora, travelers usually fly to Faa’a International Airport in Papeete, Tahiti and then take a domestic flight to Bora Bora Airport. From the airport, the resort will arrange a boat transfer to the overwater bungalow. The boat transfer costs approximately $130 per person and takes about 20 minutes. The best way to get around the island is by bike or car, which can be rented for about $20 per day.
If you have more time, consider adding a hiking excursion to Mount Otemanu or a visit to the Lagoonarium to see the local marine life up close. If you have less time, consider skipping the souvenir shopping or island tour and focusing on relaxation and water activities. Don't forget to pack plenty of sunscreen and bug spray and bring cash for tipping and local purchases.
