Cheap Flights to bora bora
Overview
Of all the beautiful islands that make up French Polynesia, Bora Bora is perhaps the one that most resembles paradise. And what’s even better is that Bora Bora has a range of accommodation - over-the-water bungalows, rooms with peak and garden views - to suit all budgets.
Bora Bora is influenced by two major peaks, Mount Pahia and Mount Otemanu, which loom over the stunning blue lagoon. The beaches are soft and sandy, the vegetation lush and green, and the clear waters teeming with life. The favoured activity on Bora Bora is, 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 stingrays, sea turtles and reef sharks.

Bora Bora offers a tropical climate. There are two seasons, wet and dry. From November to April is the wet season when you can experience hot temperatures and heavy rainfall. Humidity levels are high during this time. February and March are the hottest seasons, and May through October is the dry season.
