Useful Tips

If you have more time, consider spending an additional day to try out more water sports, such as windsurfing, jet-skiing, or kitesurfing. If you have less time, you can consider dropping the Mount Otemanu hike or the spa treatment to free up an entire day to spend at the resort or exploring the island at your leisure.

Airports

Bora Bora Airport (BOB) is on a motu (islet) off the west coast of the main island of Bora Bora. The airport is situated approximately five miles northwest of Vaitape, the largest town in Bora Bora. You can take a speedboat transfer from the airport to your hotel or resort. Domestic airlines Air Tahiti and Air Tahiti Nui both have regular flights that connect Bora Bora to other islands in French Polynesia and beyond, including Los Angeles and Paris.
