How to get to Bora Bora?
There are two way to get to Tahiti from Hong kong, the first way is to transit plane in New Zealand , you can take New Zealand airline and stop over New Zealand , another way is to transit plane in Japan .
And there is a direct flight to Tahiti from USA by United Airline .
We departed from Hong Kong and below is the route we planned, it took 5 flights for us to arrive the middle of nowhere-BoraBora.
HK --> Phuket
Phuket --> Bangkok
Bangkok--> Sydney
Sydney--> Auckland
Auckland--> PPT (Papeete)
PPT(Papeete) --> BOB (BoraBora)
When we arrived in Papeete airport , it was midnight and there are no air-conditioner , you may need to adapt to the hot weather there :P
There are local people dancing at the airport to welcome us.
Most of the people booked the hotel in Papeete is for one night before taking flight to BoraBora ,
There is one thing to bare in mind , when you book the hotel , please also calculate the time difference . we saw some tourists cannot stay in the hotel due to this reason , they booked a wrong date so they have to immediately find a very expensive hotel at that night.
There is a friendly dog welcome us in the Airport hotel , do not have much expectation in this hotel , Actually who cares? you stay there one night only .
The hotel room is clean and have air conditioner .
It offers bread and coffee for breakfast .
And then we took taxi to airport and wait for the plane to take us to Bora Bora , our dream travel destination.
