Recently I have been asked about the South Pacific, more specifically Bora Bora, French Polynesia. Richard and I travelled there for our honeymoon, it truly was Heaven on Earth!
We found that the islands of French Polynesia are horrendously expensive, if we had millions of dollars we could have easily spent a lot at least a million there on food and lodging. Generally flights from Mainland North America are routed through Montreal, New York and Los Angeles (generally the stops from the East coast all stop at LAX). If you wish to combine your travels to the South Pacific with Hawaii you can fly from Honolulu direct to Papeete (PPT), Tahiti, French Polynesia on Hawaiian Airlines. We found the best price was flying via Seattle to Honolulu then onto PPT after enjoying some time on the Big Island. We also found it broke the flying time up nicely.
Our lodging choice on Tahiti for one night was at the Sofitel Tahiti as we were only there for the night and in the morning we boarded a flight with Air Tahiti for our inter island flight to Bora Bora. This hotel was very nice and it was close to the airport (therefore a cheaper cab fare).
On Bora Bora there are a plethora of luxury resorts to choose from including the Four Seasons,
St Regis and many others that will cost you upwards of $1000 CDN a night for their most basic rooms!!! Therefore our choice was Club Med it was beautiful, luxurious and all the food and drinks were included, therefore making it the most affordable, yet luxurious choice we could find. Both Richard and I are not the all inclusive types, but we really enjoyed our time there and were pleasantly surprised at how much fun we had and how great the food was! It comes highly recommended by us both.
If anyone would like any help booking or planning a trip to the South Pacific, drop us a line at:
Here is a picture we took of the lagoon for everyone to drool over :)
