Only one problem we had in Bora Bora
We had to leave and come back to reality.

One of the best beach in the world. Snorkelling paradise where you can acquaint with sharks and sting rays.
Stingrays are more people friendly and the sharks are swimming around you.
We can say the biggest natural swimming pool of the world. The water is crystal clear and many coral gardens around the islands.
The people are friendly. Very safe to go anywhere on the island.
We had the best snorkelling experience of all time.
It is expensive but worth to go again.

You've got to see this place! From the moment you enter the airport terminal and Tahiti, you're greeted by friendly English/French speakers who go out of their way to ensure you know where you're going and that you have the most enjoyable experience. The rooms were top-notch and the views are amazing. The only recommendations I have are they should install hammocks and have some board games so people have something to do on rainy days. Some things we learned after being there are to bring water shoes, some small denomination $$ for tips, a European electrical adaptor/converter for phones/tablets, and bring your own alcohol unless you want to pay $20-30 per drink. They don't limit you on the amount of alcohol you take, like the cruise lines. The only issue we had was that we were charged extra fees because of some mistakes on the staff's part. These issues were taken care of before we left, but the staff member who we asked to remove the fees had an attitude, but other than that, the staff was amazing.

Absolutely gorgeous! Definitely a bucket list trip. Would highly recommend Norwegian's cruise going from Honolulu to Papatee, Tahiti, including Bora Bora, Raiatea and Moorea. Incredible!

What a fabulous place to visit. I have to say there was much less to do on the island than I expected. We rented a car and drove around the entire island in about 45 minutes which was really fun to see what was there.

Some of the resorts are very high-end and off the main island such as Conrad or Ritz-Carlton. These are exceptional resorts, pricey but don't expect them to be very lively.

We loved swimming with the sharks and stingrays on one of the excursions we did. As well as visiting the Bora Bora yacht club. Don't expect anything fancy but it is a fun place to visit.

The people is really nice, the island is like paradise and picturesque. There are multiple shades of blue in the ocean, and we can walk out really far and the water is still only waist deep, amazing.

This is Paradise on earth. The colour of the water is just amazing... There are some hostels for cheap accommodation, in case u want to do it backpacker. The transport in between the islands can be done by low cost local airline... Definitely a place worth to see it.

By far the best place we’ve visited. The turquoise waters and views are just AMAZING! Highly recommend it for honeymoons. You must do a lagoon tour with a Motu picnic.
