Why Choose Tahiti and Bora Bora for a Family Holiday?

French Polynesia’s most famous islands, Tahiti and Bora Bora, provide the perfect mix of cultural richness, tropical adventure, and safe environments for children. Families are warmly welcomed by the local communities, and the pace of island life allows for genuine moments of togetherness.

With calm lagoons ideal for swimming and snorkeling, scenic drives, and activities ranging from cultural immersion to culinary discovery, every member of the family will find something to enjoy.

Discovering Tahiti with Children

Tahiti, the largest and most dynamic island, offers a blend of urban life and natural wonders. Families can explore the bustling Papeete market, where local vendors sell fresh fruits, handcrafted souvenirs, and Polynesian treats like firifiri donuts and coconut bread.

The black sand beaches of Pointe Venus provide a peaceful and safe environment for swimming and play, while inland trails leading to waterfalls such as Fautaua offer rewarding hikes suitable for older children.

Outside of the capital, families can enjoy leisurely picnics in botanical gardens, take scenic drives along the coast, and visit cultural landmarks such as the James Norman Hall Museum. Dining in Tahiti is equally family-friendly, with options ranging from gourmet restaurants to local food trucks, or “roulottes,” offering generous portions of Chinese, French, and Tahitian cuisine.

Experiencing Bora Bora as a Family

Bora Bora’s reputation for luxury is matched by its family-friendly offerings. Many resorts feature dedicated kids’ clubs, shallow lagoon areas, and babysitting services, making it easy for parents to enjoy some downtime while children are entertained.

Families can stay in spacious beach villas or overwater bungalows with safety enhancements for young children.

The calm, clear waters of the Bora Bora lagoon make it an ideal setting for family activities. Guided boat tours allow kids to observe stingrays, colorful fish, and even small reef sharks in their natural habitat. For younger travelers, these encounters are often their first magical introduction to marine life.

Older children and teens may enjoy paddleboarding or beginner scuba diving courses supervised by certified instructors.

Activities Designed for Shared Discovery

In both Tahiti and Bora Bora, the beauty of the islands is best enjoyed together. Families can take gentle hikes through lush valleys, visit ancient Polynesian archaeological sites, or learn about traditional crafts such as pareo painting or vanilla farming. Horseback riding is also available in some areas, offering a unique way to explore the terrain.

Back at the resort, days can be spent relaxing by the pool, enjoying spa treatments tailored for parents and teens, or simply building sandcastles on the beach. Sunset boat cruises, complete with snacks and music, create special moments the whole family can enjoy.

Family-Friendly Dining and Culinary Exploration

Meals are a highlight of any trip to Tahiti and Bora Bora. Children will love trying tropical fruits and fresh seafood, while parents can enjoy gourmet dishes infused with Tahitian vanilla or local rum. Resorts often accommodate picky eaters with dedicated children’s menus, while markets and beachside cafes offer fresh juices, pastries, and snacks perfect for mid-day breaks.

A favorite for families is a traditional Polynesian meal served on the beach, where food is cooked in an underground oven and accompanied by music and dance.

Cooking classes and market tours are also available for those who want to learn more about island ingredients and culinary traditions.

Comfortable Stays with Space for Everyone

Choosing the right accommodation is essential for a successful family holiday. In Tahiti, resorts such as Hilton Tahiti and InterContinental offer spacious rooms, swimming pools, and convenient access to family excursions. Private villas and guesthouses also provide a more intimate atmosphere with kitchen facilities and garden space for children to play.

In Bora Bora, resorts such as Four Seasons and Le Bora Bora by Pearl Resorts offer larger suites or two-bedroom villas ideal for families. Many of these properties provide beach access, snorkel gear, and complimentary activities such as kayak or outrigger canoe rentals.

Practical Tips for Planning Your Trip

The best time to travel with family is during the dry season, from May to October, when the weather is sunny and outdoor activities are more predictable. Families should pack reef-safe sunscreen, water shoes, sun hats, and light layers for comfort throughout the day. Most resorts offer amenities such as cribs, high chairs, and childcare on request.

Transportation between Tahiti and Bora Bora is straightforward, with regular domestic flights offering stunning views of the islands below. In Tahiti, car rentals are an excellent way to explore at your own pace, while in Bora Bora, boats serve as the main mode of travel between the airport and resorts.
