Tahiti

Just the mention of “Tahiti” or “Bora Bora” evokes visions of an idyllic, tropical paradise. Islands filled with stunning beaches, crystal clear lagoon waters, overwater bungalows, and warm and welcoming Tahitian people. Join us for a quick overview of the islands.

The Islands of Tahiti have taken great steps to enhance their Health and Safety protocols to combat COVID-19 while also maintaining a relaxing and enjoyable environment for incoming guests. The airlines, airports, tour operators, hotels and excursion providers have all committed to these new efforts.

Venture Tahiti is closely monitoring the global Coronavirus situation, specifically as it relates to travel to French Polynesia. In an effort to ease your planning process, our Tahiti Specialists have compiled a comprehensive COVID-19 Travel Guide with real-time information related to traveling to Bora Bora and The Islands of Tahiti during the Coronavirus Pandemic.

As the world adapts to travel in the time of COVID-19, we understand that your departure dates may need to change. So, Venture Tahiti has introduced a new “Book with Confidence!” policy, which includes one FREE date change. With our new, more flexible booking policy, you can plan your future travel with complete peace of mind.

As we resume safe travels to Bora Bora and Tahiti, it is easy to get overwhelmed by all of the new Entry Requirements. Thankfully, the Tahiti Travel Specialists at Venture Tahiti have been working hand-in-hand with Tahiti Tourisme to simplify and organize everything for you. We have combined the all of the new entry requirements published by Tahiti Tourisme, Air Tahiti Nui, the High Commission of French Polynesia, Los Angeles County, and the United States CDC, into a one-page, easy to follow, document named, The Venture Tahiti Pre-Flight Checklist.

To better protect the visitors and citizens of French Polynesia, you will be asked to perform a Self Test for COVID-19 on the fourth day after your arrival in Tahiti.

There are very few flights to Tahiti each day. International flights from the United States depart from either Los Angeles (LAX) or San Francisco (SFO). To fly to Bora Bora, you must first fly to the main Island of Tahiti. (Please see our article titled, "Where is Tahiti", for further information on where Tahiti is located).

Air Tahiti Nui has taken very targeted measures to limit the risk to passengers in the age of COVID-19. In addition to the testing requirements prior to boarding, this short video gives a quick synopsis of the other measures that have been implemented for your safety.

Our Certified Tahiti Specialists love nothing more than working with you to create thoughtful and inspiring Vacation and Honeymoon itineraries. Below is an overview of the booking process at Venture Tahiti.‍

Our Tahiti Specialists have compiled a summary of the entry requirements published for travel to French Polynesia. These protocols were in place prior to the current travel restriction imposed on February 3, 2021 and are accurate as of the date above. We expect these procedures to continue upon Tahiti's expected reopening on May 1, 2021. However, additional guidance by the French Polynesian government specific to the reopening in May is forthcoming. Please check back with us for updated guidance once it is released.

We are often asked about the cost of food in Bora Bora and Tahiti. Food tends to be a bit expensive in French Polynesia. It is on par with dining out in New York, Los Angeles or Honolulu. If you are trying to stick to a preferred travel budget, regardless of how much you plan to spend, the cost of dining in French Polynesia should be considered in your travel and vacation planning.

Which islands to visit and how many islands you should visit depends a lot on how long you plan to stay in French Polynesia.We typically advise clients to spend at least 3 nights on each island in their itinerary (except possibly the Island of Tahiti). Spending less than 3 nights tends to make travelers feel too rushed. After all, you are going there to at least try to relax.
