Re: French Polynesia (Tahiti, Bora Bora, etc.) Honeymoons!!!!!!

One Step Closer to Tahiti....
I went to do my passport yesterday!!!!!!!!

Re: French Polynesia (Tahiti, Bora Bora, etc.) Honeymoons!!!!!!

THALASSO Girls.....just wanted to post a link for you from the Tahiti-Explorer forums. Someone from NY posted that he just got back from his honeymoon - ended it at the Thalsso. He said the soft opening is great...beautiful resort and nothing to worry about. He said the free meals included are great too.......he mentions he will post more about the hotel when he has time. I'll watch for it and post a link when he does...

Here is the link to his current post:

Post on Bora Bora Thalasso

Re: French Polynesia (Tahiti, Bora Bora, etc.) Honeymoons!!!!!!

My travel agent just e-mail me. Due to the price of airline fuel, Air Tahiti Nui is raising thier prices as of June 1st.

If you have not already paid for your tickets you should contact your TA so that you can pay for them now, and get the lower price.

The price is only going up $65 per person, but I figure that's money that I can put towards an excursion or dinner while on the HM.

Re: French Polynesia (Tahiti, Bora Bora, etc.) Honeymoons!!!!!!

hi everyone so Im going in 12 days. OH MY GOD!!!
I just was curious if there is anything I should know before I go. I don't have time to do crazy research right now. I did back when we booked but I forget a lot.
do you think if fh and I share a medium sized and a small suitcase that is enough? anything we should def do? any suggestions to deal with that looonngg plane ride.
Im so nervous.

Re: French Polynesia (Tahiti, Bora Bora, etc.) Honeymoons!!!!!!

heatherfaith - So exciting!!! If you're taking 2 suitcases (we are too) then I would split your clothes in each suitcase. So put half your stuff and half your FH's stuff in 1 suitcase and do the same for the other one, so if one piece of luggage is lost at least you both have some clothes to hold you over. And pack light!

As for the plane bring some travel games (scrabble, poker, cards, etc)!

Did you pick your excursions yet? We are definitely doing the shark feeding, helmet dive, parasailing, renting a buggy one day and renting jet skis.

Re: French Polynesia (Tahiti, Bora Bora, etc.) Honeymoons!!!!!!

Hey ladies! I am booking my interisland flights and can't seem to decide what times to book them for. I am taking the ferry from Papeete to Moorea, which runs hourly so that's no worry. I've heard you don't need to purchase the ferry tickets in advance. But I am not sure what time to book the flight from Moorea to Bora Bora. I believe check out is 11am in Moorea and check in at Bora Bora is around 3:00. Should I stay in Moorea, have lunch, then go? And what about my flight back to Papeete? If check out is 11am in Bora Bora, should be head back to Papeete immediatly and check it out before our 11pm flight that evening? What are your thoughts?

These are some of my choices:
MOOREA BORA BORA 1130
MOOREA BORA BORA 1330
MOOREA BORA BORA 1410

and then

BoraBora to Tahiti 1355 Arrival time 1440

Re: French Polynesia (Tahiti, Bora Bora, etc.) Honeymoons!!!!!!

This person just came back..from the moorea pearl, and the new IC, with the island of Huahine in between. Its exactly the same rooms/hotels we're doing, minus huahine!

Is anyone getting their own snorkel gear and know where to get it on LI? I want to get it to have for life! :)

Christine- I wouldn't take the last flight from BB back to Tahiti, just in case... take the 2nd to last or 3rd to last flight so you know you can take a later flight if something happens! I think we're taking a 1 or 2pm flight back to Tahiti and our flight isn't till 9pm. We are just going to go around tahiti to the shops and stuff until our flight home.

Going from Moorea to BB... take an early afternoon flight... I think ours is 11 or 12 in the morning. Even if your room isn't ready in BB you can go to the pool!

Re: French Polynesia (Tahiti, Bora Bora, etc.) Honeymoons!!!!!!

Girls...sorry I'm finding good stuff on the Tahiti-Explorer boards today...

You have to check out the pictures this guy posted from his HM...they are amazing! WOW - I could stare at them all day. Only hotel that I am going to that he went is the IC in Papeete (and I'm only spending first night to sleep there)...but just seeing all his shots really put me in a good mood...thought you girls would enjoy them as well. He stayed at the Sheraton in Moorea and the Bora Bora Nui. And some other island too he went to...here is the link to his slideshow in Kodak Gallery:

I'll check my itinerary and flight times at home tonight and post them for you. My TA suggested leaving Moorea I think around 11am-noonish...basically leave after breakfast I believe. I personally would stay in Bora Bora as late as possible before heading to my flight in Papeete.

Re: French Polynesia (Tahiti, Bora Bora, etc.) Honeymoons!!!!!!

Can you share an estimate of prices for:
Flight
Rooms (we are most likely some beach and some over-the-water bungalows)
Excursions

Not sure about that yet... I think maybe the airport has lockers for your luggage. I'll have to find that out!

The Papeete airport has a storage room where you can store your luggage. You have to pay for it, but that's what we did when we had to kill a couple of hours before our flight home.
