How much does it cost to travel around Tahiti?

My boyfriend and I want to go on a vacation and we were deciding between Phuket and Tahiti. Is it expensive to stay in a decent hotel in Bora Bora? We also want to go jet skiing, check out the nightlife, restaurants, etc. We're in our mid 20's, Is Bora Bora a good place to go without paying tons to enjoy it? Any other suggestions for a fun & relaxing vacation? I think we want to spend no more than around $3K each.

Hi there,

I'm a native from Tahiti so i can give you some advice on that. First of all, you must know that Tahiti or Bora-Bora are very expensive places to go but with $6K, you can do it!

Assuming you're staying for 5 days, only in Tahiti while doing all the activities you've mentioned (jet skiing, check out the nightlife, restaurants, etc), then you'll be able to save money and have some really good time while staying at a 4 stars hotel. IF you really want to spend quality time in Bora-Bora, then you might want to consider staying at a "pension" rather than a hotel. it's cheaper but you'll have the same quality offered as if you were in a 5 stars hotel.

Bora-Bora doesn't have lots of fine restaurants except in hotels but Tahiti does (mostly in downtown Papeete). On the contrary, beaches in Bora-Bora can't be compared to the beaches in Tahiti.

good luck!
