Getting to Bora Bora is not a problem. The French Polynesian island is eminently accessible by land and air. If one chooses to fly there, one can choose between a number of international airlines that have regular flights to and from Tahiti-Faa’a International Airport. This is located at Papeete, which is the capital of Tahiti. Alternatively (and if your budget allows it) you can choose to charter a flight or even a helicopter. Many affluent tourists prefer the latter option because of the spectacular panoramic view this affords in transit.
Bora Bora can, of course, also be reached by commercial or private sea vessels. Once there, however, sea travel is practically a must – exploring the azure waters in general and the magnificent lagoon in particular are highlights of a Bora Bora vacation.
No matter what kind of accommodation or vacation package one chooses, it is important to plan the holiday carefully. There is so much to see and do, and yet relaxation should be the binding element through it all. Much depends on one’s own mental makeup, of course – the hardy explorer would never be satisfied with lounging around in luxuriant lassitude at a fancy resort. By the same coin, such relaxation would be in order for the stressed-out business executive.
An ideal vacation at Bora Bora would include a reasonable amount of water sports – tackle fishing, water skiing, scuba diving, an Aquasafari, at least a couple of expertly guided island tours, visits to the neighboring islands of Raiatea, Huahine and Tahaa, and checking out places of historical and general tourist interest, such as the fascinating remnants of World War II and the spectacular lagoonarium. Apart from that, one can get in touch with the Tahitian natives – witnessing the local dances and checking out their craft
The memories of a Bora Bora vacation will last a lifetime. Choose an appropriate travel package that includes as many of the above as possible.
