Bora Bora does not have many of these items so BEFORE you leave contact a local dive shop (or shop one online) to either purchase or rent this type of equipment.
A dry snorkel is about $30.00 and a Rx mask $100.00. I do not recommend you purchase these items if you do not plan on using them again. As for the fins, usually the ones at the resorts are just fine to use. Leave a Comment

 Insect repellent by Helga67
Bring a good sunscreen and insect repellent
Keep in mind that daylight is very intense in the tropics. Use a polarisation or UV filter and bring a waterproof bag to protect your camera from salt and spray during boat trips.
Snorkelling equipment
Bring an adapter if you don't have a French plug with two round prongs. Leave a Comment

I recommend you bring your own food. A hamburger is around $25 in Bora Bora. We purchased cans of tuna, fruit, etc a grocery store after our $30 each continental breakfast the first morning that we arrived in Tahiti!
Suntan lotion averages $30 in Bora Bora Leave a Comment

Don't forget to pack Benadryl, Tylenol, and an anti-biotic, just in case. The no-see-ums got to my ankles, and the sun got the best of me towards the end.
Underwater camera. I also brought my Nikon with extra zoom lens.
Don't forget your snorkel gear! I guess you could buy it when you get there, but it's probably cheaper to bring it with you. Leave a Comment

- Plastic bags to protect your camera or items from water or to store away your wet dirty clothes.
- Beach bag.
- Extra pair of sandal (my husband lost one of his sandal while wind surfing and it cost $31 for average plastic flip flop)
- Cortizone (in case you have allergies)
- Advil
- Pepto Bismol
- Bandaids
Medical supplies are expensive.
- Underwater camera.
- Lots of sunblock as sun is particularly strong there, had to re-apply at the hour and don't miss a spot, also apply evenly or it will show.... speaking from experience. ($25/bottle at hotel)
- Bring your own snorkeling equipment and shoes to walk on beach as there are small rocks not comfortable to walk barefoot.
- Mosquito Repellent
- DVD and CD (when we went in December, the weather was a bit unpredictable and rained entire day on 2nd day, good thing we had our movies and room had dvd player)
- Water (it's $5/liter at our hotel) Leave a Comment

Bring water socks for the coral. Bora Bora is caual so unless you are planning a really fancy dinners, jusyt packs shorts, skirts and flip flops. Bring a sun hat a beach cover up because it is easy to get too much sun
Bring extra sunscreen! If you are ther for a week, 1 person should empty an entire bottle of sunscreen at the minimum, or you are not using enough. Sunscreen is extremly costly there, as well as aloe vera/aftersun. Pack more than you think you will need because you do not want to have to but more at $20US a bottle. ALso bug repellant and after bite for the itch.
An underwater camers and a large enough card for your digital. We ran out of space on our digital card and in town the cost to have our pics put to disc was about $45US. Leave a Comment
