Boasting bucket-list overwater bungalow and world-class snorkeling and diving, it is no wonder why Bora Bora is a top travel bucket-list destination. But, just how much does it cost to go to Bora Bora? We are going to breakdown the components of a Bora Bora vacation package and see how much each one costs, as well as how you can save money on each itinerary component. When we, at Tahiti Trips, put together your Bora Bora itinerary – we package flights, resorts, activities, and any additional add-ons you like. Let’s take a look at each component below.

Being ~8.5 hour flight away from LAX (Los Angeles International Airport) or SFO (San Francisco International Airport), it is no shock that a flight to Bora Bora can be quite pricey. However, another component most don’t even know about is stopping at the main island of Tahiti first at Papeete International Airport. From here, then you will finally make your way to the island of Bora Bora on a small island-jumper plane. This flight from Papeete International Airport to Bora Bora costs ~$500 per person when added on to a trip package. When booked with an international flight – it can cost upwards of $1,000+ – making it such a great benefit to book this flight with a Tahiti Trips specialist.

Approximate Cost: ~$2,500 per person from the United States to Bora Bora (price increases for first and business class seats)

Tahiti Trips Tip: Sit on the left side of the plane to Bora Bora for incredible views flying in! Seats are on a first-come, first-served basis as you board the flight in Papeete.

HOW TO SAVE MONEY ON THIS COMPONENT OF ITINERARY PACKAGE: Tahiti Trips is partnered with Go In Class Luxury Flights to provide you first-class and business-class seats to Papeete International Airport for less. On average, we are able to book our clients ~$4,000 cheaper than published airfare prices due to our elite partnerships in the travel industry.

Bora Bora is a small island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean – making resort options limited. The island is well-known for it’s overwater bungalows and 5-star properties that deliver an ultra-luxury experience for any occasion of travel. However, they do have a few 4-star resorts, and 2-3-star resorts, too. Work with your Tahiti Trips specialist to make sure you are choosing the right Resort for your desired travel experience and budget.

Approximate Cost: ~$1,000+ per night (varies widely on resort and type of accommodation booked)

Tahiti Trips Tip: There are no *true all-inclusive Resorts on the island of Bora Bora. The most you are able to include in your packaged itinerary is breakfast and dinner. Lunches, snacks, and beverages will always be an additional cost to consider.

HOW TO SAVE MONEY ON THIS COMPONENT OF ITINERARY PACKAGE: Tahiti Trips are experts in Bora Bora – meaning we have discovered ways to fit in every budget. Our biggest money saving tip we offer to clients is to split-up accommodation type. Beach bungalows tend to be less expensive than overwater bungalows – so we book many split stays to help save our clients money. Ask your Tahiti Trips specialist about split-stay options for your itinerary package!

Bora Bora has many activities you can add-on to your itinerary, including: snorkeling, sunset cruises, jet ski tours, island tours, and much more. I always suggest adding on a few activities to fill your itinerary, but also have a few days open to relax and enjoy your resort. Discuss with your Tahiti Trips specialist which activities will be best for you to enjoy.

Approximate Cost: ~$1,000 total (varies if you want private or small-group tours that are more $$)

When booking your Tahiti Trips package – you have the option of breakfast-only rates, or rates that will include breakfast and dinner. The meals in between and drinks will need to be paid for once on island.

Approximate Cost: ~$300 total per day based on 2 adults

HOW TO SAVE MONEY ON THIS COMPONENT OF ITINERARY PACKAGE: Stop at duty-free and get some concoctions to make your own drinks in your bungalow, and grab some snacks you can have throughout the day.
