BORA BORA

ON A BUDGET IS POSSIBLE

CHEAPEST WAY TO BORA BORA

Here are 10 ways to visit Bora Bora on a budget

There's an airline called French Bee that flies from  Paris -> San Francisco -> Pape'ete. Hop on from SFO and you might find a great deal.

LOW COST CARRIER

USE YOUR AIRLINE POINTS

We paid only $157.96 CAD for 2 people for Toronto -> San Francisco -> Pape'ete with Air Canada and United Airlines

PLAY THE LONG GAME

Overwater bungalows are possible on points.  You just need to stick to a problem such as Marriott and build up your cache with cards like the Amex Marriott Bonvoy.

TIP #3

BRING YOUR OWN FOOD

As cheap as this sounds, save on the expensive meals at the resort by bringing snacks from home or even go extreme with cup noodles.

TIP #5

Free breakfast is typically included once you reach a top-tier status.   Take advantage of this by having a late breakfast, turning it into a brunch.

STATUS MATTERS

BOOK ACTIVITIES ON YOUR OWN

The resort activities are marked up.  Book tours on your own and look out for ones on GetYourGuide or Viator.

TIP #7

THE KIDS MENU

Don't laugh.  There's often some serious value with the kids menu especially room service.  You'd be surprised!

AIR TAHITI MULTI-ISLAND PASS

It's complicated but it's worth figuring out whether you can make use of this to save on those flights between islands.

LOOK AT PENSIONS

There's more than 5-star resorts in Bora Bora.  Pensions are Tahiti's secret to affordable accommodations.

TIP #9

FREE ACTIVITIES

Every resort has them.   At Le Meridien Bora Bora they have free visits to the Turtle Center everyday.
