Bora Bora Honeymoon Escape: A 5-Day Romantic Itinerary

Morning/Afternoon: Arrive at Fa'a'ā International Airport in Tahiti, then take a short flight to Bora Bora (approximately 50 minutes). Upon arrival, you'll be greeted with a traditional Polynesian flower lei and escorted to your luxurious overwater bungalow at your chosen resort, such as The St. Regis Bora Bora Resort or Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora.

Evening: Unwind with a relaxing private beach dinner under the stars. Your resort can arrange a candlelit dinner on the beach for you, where you can enjoy delicious Polynesian dishes while listening to the gentle sound of the waves.

Morning: Start your day with a private lagoon tour. Explore Bora Bora’s stunning turquoise waters on a boat cruise, where you’ll stop at various spots to snorkel among vibrant coral reefs and swim with rays, sharks and tropical fish. Many resorts offer private boat charters that allow you to see the island from a unique perspective.

Afternoon: After your tour, enjoy a leisurely lunch at your resort’s restaurant. Try fresh seafood or a traditional Polynesian dish like poisson cru, a marinated fish salad.

You’ll explore Bora Bora’s lush hills and enjoy stunning panoramic views from the island’s peaks. These tours often end with a visit to ancient marae (sacred Polynesian sites) or lush valleys.

Afternoon: Enjoy a relaxing afternoon at your resort’s beach or lagoon. You can rent a paddleboard or kayak, or simply relax by the water.
