Question ID: 139562
I would like to find a good deal on a vacation package to Bora Bora,
one of the islands off Tahiti.  My wife and I wish to stay at a hotel
with overwater bungalos.  However, the prices are so steep.  Could
anyone give me a price comp on good vacation packages out there?  We
are celebrating our honeymoon.

We would like to travel during the best season (no tropical storms).

Thanks.

Hi travelnut,
There's a few questions I need you to clarify. When exactly would you
like to travel and for how long?
Where are you located? When you say "steep", how much are you
referring to and what would your budget be for the trip? Thanks!
Regards,
rainbow~

Clarification of Question by travelnut-ga on 09 Jan 2003 00:48 PST
I would like to travel for about 4 to 5 days.
I am located in Los Angeles, California.
Steep is $2500 to $3000 + per person.
My budget would be around $3500 total (for two people).

Thanks for helping out.

Jun - Oct is High season. The weather is cooler (high 82F) but drier.
The air and some hotels the price is more during this period.

Tahiti is expensive - especially to Bora Bora. Below is a price
staying at The Hotel Le Maitai Polynesa Bora Bora (3 star).
Rate includes international air from Los Angeles, inter-island air, 
transfers, and above hotel in a overwater bungalow.

$2,218.00 per person + $66.00 US departure taxes

If they stay on the main on island it is less expensive. A 4 night

Bungalow would be as follows:

$1,645.00 per person + $66.00 US departure taxes

If they travel during the off period they can save money on the air

I priced out a really nice little hotel on Bora Bora for you. They
have great over water bungalows (with Plexiglas coffee tables to see
the fish), friendly staff, good food and a great beach. The dry season
in French Polynesia is from April through October but can be pretty
unpredictable out in the South
Pacific. Weather tends to be close to Hawaii which is two hours away
by plane. You really want to avoid July, August and September as the
prices really jump up in high season. I also could get a lower rate
traveling in the off season which is now through the end of March.
Please do not hesitate to call or e-mails with any questions you may
have. I have been to French Polynesia many times!
