Bora Bora Airport to Hotel

Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Tahiti & French Polynesia

I will go to Bora Bora on mid of May & will stay at InterContinental Moorea Bora Bora Hotel. The hotel can arrange the pick up service, but it really expensive! Did someone know how to transfer from the airport to the hotel with a cheaper cost?

Thanks for any comment.

Can't help you much except to say that the airport is on an island in the lagoon. They have a shuttle boat service to the harbor of the main island.

You could try posting this on the forum at www.tahiti-explorer.com - one of the locals or regulars there should be able to help with this. Or try the Tahiti forum at tripadvisor.

The “InterContinental Moorea Bora Bora Hotel” - are you sure this is a hotel? Moorea is once island which has an Intercon and Bora Bora is another island which has an intercon.
Transfers between Moora airport and the Moorea Inrercon can be done via road on Le truk.
Transfers in Bora Bora have to be done on speedboat. Contact Tahiti Tours for a price of transfer.

There is a public airport to town boat transfer, it will take you to Vaitape and you will have to take a truck or taxi van.

Save yourself the trouble and take the airport shuttle. It is really a huge pain to do the trip to Vaitape and from there to the hotel. It will take you quite a bit longer and "might" not even saw you all that much.
