The Bora Bora island is one of the most popular islands in The Islands of Tahiti. One of nine islands within the Society Islands, Bora Bora was formed over seven million years ago by a volcano.
Bora Bora is world-famous for its vibrant turquoise lagoon, soft, white sandy stretches of beach and luxurious resorts. With such a dreamlike setting, this magical island is, unsurprisingly, a great spot to plan a getaway.
Known for its black-sand beaches, tropical lagoons and waterfalls, Tahiti is 4,400 km south of Hawaii, 7,900km from Chile and 5,700km from Australia. It's the largest island in French Polynesia and is divided into Tahiti Nui (the larger, western section) and Tahiti Iti (the eastern peninsula).
There are no direct flights available to Bora Bora. This holds true for most of the islands in French Polynesia. Simply put, the landmasses just aren't big enough to accommodate the kind of runways needed to land large passenger jets.
Is Tahiti Expensive to Vacation? The short answer is more often than not, YES. In comparison to the other 20+ countries around the world that I have visited, Tahiti is definitely on the more expensive side. To give you a point of reference, a vacation in Tahiti is comparable to a vacation in Paris or London.
With so many beaches, water activities, and cultural connections, you should spend between seven and 10 days in Tahiti and greater Polynesia. One week to 10 days can give you plenty of time to visit Tahiti and other islands, such as Bora Bora or Moorea.
The languages spoken in Bora Bora are Tahitian and French. However, due to the high tourism population, many natives of Bora Bora have learned to speak English. Bora Bora is a major international tourist destination, famous for its seaside luxury resorts.
To properly experience Bora Bora, three days (four nights if arriving late) should be enough. The island is small and there isn't all that much to see. If you're after a pampering luxury holiday of sipping cocktails on the deck of your overwater bungalow, you could probably spend a week (if you can afford that).
Tahiti (English: /t?'hi?ti/; Tahitian [ta'hiti]; French pronunciation: ?[ta. iti]; previously also known as Otaheite) is the largest island of the Windward group of the Society Islands in French Polynesia. It is located in the central part of the Pacific Ocean and the nearest major landmass is Australia.
French is the official language of The Islands of Tahiti. Tahitian is mostly spoken by islanders in their homes while French is commonly used in schools and business but once you visit the islands, English is well spoken in restaurants, resorts and other tourist areas.
Most travelers headed to this tropical paradise arrive by air. The Tahiti-Faa'a International Airport is located on Tahiti's main island and is about 5 km west of Papeete. This is the only international airport in French Polynesia and is close and convenient to all the major hotels and resorts on Tahiti.
The best times to go to Bora Bora are November and April. These short shoulder seasons offer fine weather with temperatures in the mid-70s to mid-80s. High season runs from May to October when rain showers are isolated and the number of tourists swells.
