Bora Bora is an idyllic island in French Polynesia, a sprinkling of islands smack-bang in the vast expanse of Pacific Ocean between Australia and South America.
This part of the planet is relatively untrod – the whole country gets just 40,000 visitors a year – so castaway beaches and honeymoon hotels are the order of the day. In fact, the only high-rise in sight is Mount Otemanu, the resident volcano.
Got your sights set for Bora Bora? Then you’re in for quite a trip – expect a few stops, all finished off with a super scenic flight between Tahiti and Bora Bora.
It’s a long one. There are at least two 2 stops one way – and often 3. That means flights last from 20 to 40-plus hours long.
First you have to get to Tahiti, the main island in French Polynesia. Air New Zealand offers flights with just one stopover – but you’ll end up paying extra for the saved time. Qantas Airways and Emirates put on longer, cheaper flights with 2 stopovers.
The last leg of your trip is covered by Air Tahiti Nui, which lays on a direct flight from Tahiti to Bora Bora.
There’s a choice of routes, so Perth to Bora Bora flights take off several times a day.
All flights start in Perth Airport and finish in Bora Bora Airport, AKA Motu Mute Airport.
There aren’t any direct flights from Perth to Bora Bora.
Flights from Perth to Bora Bora deliver you to a quintessentially South Pacific island. It’s only 30 km² and yet serves up shell-white beaches, rustling palm forests and crystal-clear waters – plus a full deck of luxury hotels to go with them.
Then there’s Mount Otemanu. You can’t miss this jagged volcano, which sticks up like a thumb in the in the middle of the island.
A few millennia of volcanic activity has also created a ring of islands around Bora Bora, along with a dead calm lagoon. It’s little wonder that scuba diving is one of the top activities here.
