You can fly nonstop from Los Angeles to Papeete, Tahiti, in eight hours on Air New Zealand, Air France, or Qantas. From Papeete you fly another 45 minutes on Air Tahiti to Bora Bora. Accommodations are generally on the expensive side so make your travel agent go over some cheaper options with you.
Air France
Air New Zealand - (via Auckland)
Air Tahiti Nui
AOM
Corsair
Hawaiian Air
United Airlines
For up to a one month stay, U.S. citizens need a round trip ticket and a passport that is valid for 6 months past the time of departure. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Air Tahiti has a travel agency section that includes packages that you can taylor to your wants.
It's great if you want to see a lot of islands and have things organised.
Le Truck is the only form of public transport, great in Tahiti but unreliable in the islands.
Rent a car, a scooter or a bike to have your own schedule and save time. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

For short travels in Tahiti, take the local bus called 'truck'. If u want to get around the other islands, the best thing to do is to rent a car. U can rent a car in Tahiti and then take it thru the islands (most of the boats are ferries), but I recommend that u rent a car on every island so that u can take the plane too (more expensive but faster than the boat. Eg : half an hour from Tahiti to Huahine by plane, 8 hours by boat). Except in Tahiti, the bike is an excellent type of transportation tho. Leave a Comment Theme: Ship/Boat

Cruising the islands was terrific. Otherwise, there are ferrys from island to island. Some of the islands are quite a distance and definitely not a day trip (e.g. Tahiti to Bora Bora).
Try the in-land safari. Nice views & excellent guides. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

On Tahiti island, I hitch-hiked and it worked well..
It seems that this kind of moving is very popular and safe Leave a Comment Theme: Other
