The crime rate in Bora Bora is very low.

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.
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).
