Before You Go
Book overwater bungalow 4–6 months ahead; high-season rates ($600–800/night) lock early.
Reserve shark/ray tour, sunset cruise, and spa treatments via resort 2 weeks prior.
Obtain valid passport (6+ months validity) and check visa requirements for French Polynesia.
Purchase travel insurance covering tropical medical care and flight cancellation.
Arrange airport transfer through resort before departure; confirm 24 hours before arrival.
Good to Know
Overwater bungalows offer unmatched romance but book 5+ months ahead for July–August.
Snorkeling directly from bungalow is free; organized tours show manta rays and sharks.
French Polynesian francs (CFP) widely used; USD accepted at resorts but exchange rates favor local currency ATMs.
Sunscreen is essential but reef-toxic; bring zinc oxide or biodegradable reef-safe brands.
Tours include meals and drinks; tipping is appreciated but not obligatory for guides (5–10%).
Inter-island flights are expensive; Bora Bora offers enough activity for full 7 days without travel.
Resort spas offer traditional Polynesian treatments unavailable elsewhere; book early.
