Local Transportation

Once on the island, Bora Bora’s transportation options cater to both convenience and adventure.

Boat Transfers

As an island surrounded by water, boat transfers are a staple. Water taxis and shuttle boats connect the airport to the main island and various motus (small islets). They’re quick, scenic, and often included in your resort booking.

Rental Cars and Scooters

For those who want to explore Bora Bora by land, rental cars and scooters are available. The island’s single main road circles the coastline, making it easy to navigate. Scooters, in particular, are a fun and practical option for solo travelers or couples.

Bicycles

Biking is a charming way to explore the main island at your own pace. Many resorts and rental shops offer bicycles, allowing you to enjoy the scenic views and local villages while staying eco-friendly.

Resort Transportation

Most visitors to Bora Bora stay at luxurious resorts, which often provide tailored transportation services.

Private Boats and Shuttles

Resorts usually handle all transfers, from picking you up at the airport to arranging excursions. These private boats and shuttles ensure a seamless and exclusive experience.

Overwater Bungalows Access

For those staying in overwater bungalows, transportation often includes direct boat transfers to your suite. Imagine stepping off a boat onto your private deck—it’s as dreamy as it sounds.

Exploring the Lagoon

The lagoon is Bora Bora’s crown jewel, and there are plenty of ways to experience its magic.

Kayaks and Paddleboards

Many resorts provide complimentary kayaks and paddleboards, allowing you to explore the lagoon at your leisure. It’s a fantastic way to discover hidden coves and admire the underwater world.

Guided Lagoon Tours

For a deeper dive into the lagoon’s beauty, guided tours are a must. These excursions typically include stops for snorkeling, shark and ray feeding, and sightseeing. Local guides share fascinating insights into Bora Bora’s marine ecosystem.
