Of all the beautiful islands that make up French Polynesia, Bora Bora is perhaps the one that most resembles paradise. Cheap flights to Bora Bora are probably not top of the list for the Hollywood elite who like to holiday and honeymoon there, but the good news for the rest of us is that the island has a range of accommodation – over-the-water bungalows, rooms with peak and garden views – to suit all budgets.
Bora Bora, an extinct volcano, is dominated by two peaks (Mount Otemanu and Mount Pahia) that loom over the stunning blue lagoon. The beaches are soft and sandy, the vegetation lush and green, the clear waters teem with life.
The favoured activity on Bora Bora is surprise, surprise, to soak up the sun on the coconut-tree lined beaches, but if that gets a little dull, visitors can explore the interior of the island or spend some time in the Lagoonarium where they can swim with sting rays, sea turtles and reef sharks.
As in the rest of the Society Islands, Bora Bora has a tropical climate. There are two seasons, wet and dry. The wet season runs from November to April. Rainfall is heavy, temperatures are hot (27-30 degrees) and humidity levels are high. February and March are the hottest seasons. May through October is the dry season. Temperatures are slightly cooler – between 24 and 28 degrees – and rainfall is minimal.
Peak Season:
May to October – the dry season – is the high season. Temperatures are a pleasant 24-28 degrees and rain is rare. Heiva is month-long cultural festival that takes place in July. The school holidays are also busy times to take cheap flights to Bora Bora and you may face stiff competition for lodgings, especially at the more affordable end of the market.
Off Season:
The wet season is generally considered to be the low season in Bora Bora. February and March in particular are considered the least pleasant months. However, if you can brave the heat, humidity and rain, you may be able to have a cheaper holiday. Prices dip during the off season.
There aren’t many taxis on Bora Bora and the public transport system consists of Le Truck which offers a limited service. In the evenings some restaurants will organize transport back to your resort. Renting a car or a scooter offers greatest freedom. There are also bike rentals and boat rentals for trips to the outlying islets.
