Everything You Need to Know Before You Fly

How do we travel from Tahiti (PPT) to Bora Bora? ⌄

Take a 45-minute scenic Air Tahiti flight from Papeete (PPT) to Bora Bora Airport (BOB), built on a coral motu. Our private luxury resort catamaran meets you at baggage claim for the 20-minute cruise across the lagoon.

Is it safe to swim with the stingrays and reef sharks in the lagoon? ⌄

Yes. Local stingrays and blacktip reef sharks are gentle, wild animals habituated to humans. Experienced Polynesian guides lead small private excursions for safe, ethical encounters.

What is the best time of year to visit Bora Bora? ⌄

French Polynesia is sunlit year-round. The dry winter (May–October) brings 25–28°C air and gentle tradewinds. Summer (November–April) offers warmer water and lush tropical color. High season pricing tracks the dry months.
