How To Get To Bora Bora
From Auckland, there are direct flights with Air New Zealand's Dreamliner (a full selection of Economy, Premium Economy and Business Class) or Air Tahiti Nui to Tahiti's capital of Papeete. The flight time is just under five hours with Air New Zealand and from Papeete you join a domestic Air Tahiti Nui flight to Bora Bora.
Depending on the timing of the international flights an overnight stopover may be required in Papeete before joining the onward flight.
You May Have Heard of Tahitian Cruises
The Tahitian Islands are understandably a popular port of call for the world's leading cruise lines. Well-known names such as Regent Seven Seas, Silversea, Windstar Cruises (pictured) and Princess Cruises offer itineraries from Papeete.
A cruise holiday with an itinerary that explores the Tahitian Islands and a Bora Bora holiday package is a memorable combination. Explore cruise options
