At a glance: Bora-Bora no longer needs an introduction, it is well known for having "the most beautiful lagoon in the world". Bora-Bora's some 6,000 inhabitants know that they are living inside a true Tropical Garden of Eden, and their main preoccupation (as well as their greatest pride) consists in sharing their easy living, and make your stay unforgettable. In Bora-Bora, you will quickly get the feeling that everything is oriented toward perfection. The tourist is King.

Hotels and tourist activities are very developped, but with a strict respect for the environment and the preservation of the ecosystem:  However, like everywhere in Polynesia, the beaches are rather desert, and the tourists, after all, make themselves very discreet.  This mythical destination remains a mandatory detour, even if its authenticity tends to fade away with time. This is why it is recommended not to stay there more than 3 or 4 days and to complete your stay with a visit to the neighboring islands, particularly Raiatea, Tahaa and Huahine.

How to get there: The Bora-Bora runway, which, for a long time, was French Polynesia's only international airport, receives only today inter-island flights. Several daily flights connect the island to Tahiti, often non-stop or sometimes with a stop in Raiatea. Since Bora-Bora airport is located on an islet (Motu Mute), a free shuttle catamaran service brings you in 15 minutes to the dock of Vaitape, the island's main village. Be aware that when you leave Bora-Bora, these shuttles to the airport leave Vaitape, about an hour before take off time. Many hotels also have their own private shuttle services to ensure their guests' transportation to the airport and through the many destinations around the lagoon.
