Because of its popularity, you’ll find that Bora Bora is easily considered to be one of the most beautiful tropical destinations you could visit. Part of the island’s appeal is both the remoteness and solitude that it offers, which will serve you very well, especially if you’re traveling to the region for a honeymoon trip. With this said, the downside with being so remote is that Bora Bora is not a place that can be reach quickly or, cheaply for that matter, unless you are already in French Polynesia to began with.
Because there are only a select few airlines that venture out to French Polynesia, you’ll find that getting there isn’t quite as easy as you might assume. Another thing you’ll want to note is that the airlines that do travel to French Polynesia all fly into Tahiti, before departing to the other nearby islands. Thankfully, Moorea is practically in the shadow of Tahiti so you actually have a few transportation options, unlike most of the rest in the large island group, where a flight is the only practical way of getting there.
Although you’ll find that getting to Tahiti isn’t the cheapest, the adventure over tends to be both easy and straightforward. This is because there are only a few airlines that fly into Papeete’s Faa’a International Airport, which serves as a hub for the entire South Pacific. Regardless of which direction you are coming from, you’ll be arriving on a huge wide-body jet such as a 747, so even the coach seats tend to be roomy and comfortable, which is a nice thing to look forward to.
Once you arrive in the Maldives, you’ll feel as though you’ve arrived in paradise, especially at your overwater bungalow resort, as the location is quite remote for pretty much everyone. Spread over a huge area just southwest of India, The Maldives is located many thousands of kilometers from Europe, and even quite a long way from the Middle East as well.
Fortunately, there are many flights into Malé International Airport from all over the globe, making it so that most people will only have to change planes once along the way.
