Bora Bora is a dream destination for many, but getting there is no easy task. After a 13-hour flight from New York, and an additional hour-long jaunt from Papeete, the capital of French Polynesia, guests are ready for a welcoming arrival. Those staying at Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora are greeted at the airport and receive a lei before boarding Heinoanoa, a custom (and well-stocked) yacht that ferries visitors to the resort. Guests are given a cool mango-juice shooter to enjoy over the strains of traditional music before being shuttled to their overwater bungalow via golf cart.
