Are prices really high in Bora Bora?
Consider that except coconuts and fish almost EVERYTHING has to be shipped from California, France or New Zealand. Fresh products have to be flown daily from these faraway destinations. Most prices actually compare with HAWAII ones. To save money on beach gears, post cards and other artifacts I suggest you take advantage of your Tahiti stopover by riding the Truck -a very cheap public transportation- to CARREFOUR PUNAAUIA, an hypermarket located 2 miles west of the airport .
