Things You'll Need:
- Great weekender or other small-sized luggage
- Strong packing discipline
-
Step 1
Use a small bag. Because Bora Bora has no direct flights, you will take a smaller plane from Tahiti's main island to your resort. Before you even begin to pack, make sure to buy or borrow a small weekend bag, even for a week long trip.
-
Step 2
Bring at least three swimsuits (both men and women) and a couple pairs of sandals for the beach and evenings out. Remember, you will be just below the equator, so you won't need much. French-island style is simple and polished: Lightweight dresses for ladies and linen trousers for guys. Hawaiian-print and Corona T-shirts scream "obnoxious tourist."
-
Step 3
Pare down your basics. Makeup? Only bring the absolute essentials. Jewelry? Not while you're snorkeling. This likely won't be a high-adventure vacation, so bring mellow hobbies like books and sudoku, and download some fresh, chill music for your hut.
