Once you visit Bora Bora, it’s likely you’ll never want to leave. Unfortunately, more often than not, that won’t be possible as most Bora Bora holiday packages start at seven nights. This begs the question: what to do in Bora Bora for a week-long holiday and how should you maximise your time spent in this magical place?

The team at Spacifica Travel love nothing more than helping our customers plan their dream trip to a range of locations throughout the South Pacific. If you have a week-long Bora Bora holiday on the horizon, then you can trust us to help you fill those days with memorable experiences and activities that will ensure you soak up the most of this paradise.

Must-Do Activities on Bora Bora

Bora Bora is brimming with unmissable experiences that you should absolutely make room for during your week-long holiday. While time and financial budgets may limit how many of these activities you can tick off, they are all worthy of your consideration as ways to spend your days in Bora Bora.

• Swimming with black tip reef sharks—which don’t pose any threat to humans—in the Bora Bora lagoon.
• Farm for pearls off the shores of Bora Bora. You get to keep any you find, and even use them to make jewellery to take home with you.
• Enjoy a local dish called Poisson—freshly prepared on a boat for you—before going snorkelling in the lagoon.
• Go on an ATV tour of the island and explore the World War II battlements while learning about the important role Bora Bora played during that part of history.
• Couples can enjoy a romantic tour around Bora Bora, exploring the colourful underwater world, savouring a delicious Polynesian meal, and experiencing some local entertainment.

These are just a few must-do activities to fill your week in Bora Bora. The good news is that you can’t go wrong with any of them and there is plenty more to explore while you spend your time in this beautiful part of the world.

Ways to Relax on Bora Bora

While it’s natural to want to spend every second of your week in Bora Bora exploring the lagoon and the islands, some of the best moments spent here are the quieter ones. Once you are surrounded by the calming waters, palm trees, and mountains of Bora Bora, it’s easy to reach a place of relaxation and let the hours pass over you.

A Bora Bora or Tahiti holiday is never really complete without spending a lazy morning or afternoon on the beach with a book, some good food, and maybe a light swim. Most resorts in Bora Bora also come with an on-site spa and massage centre if you feel like unwinding that way. You can also find a local cooking class to attend if you want to expand your culinary skills with some traditional Tahitian techniques.

At the end of the day, relaxation and Bora Bora go hand-in-hand, and you won’t struggle to slow things down during your week-long vacation in this paradise.

What to Pack When in Bora Bora for a Week

When spending a week in Bora Bora, it is important you pack enough clothes to keep you going for a few days. Most resorts and hotels on the island have a laundry, so you will be able to conduct a wash halfway through your stay.

No matter what time of the year you visit, you should pack plenty of sunscreen, hats, sunglasses, and other sun-protective gear. No trip to Bora Bora is complete without going for a swim in the lagoon, so make sure you have your swimmers packed too. Don’t worry about snorkelling gear, as resorts and tour operators will be able to provide this for you.
