Bora Bora Honeymoon & Mini-Moon Guide: How to Plan Your First Trip to Paradise

Planning Your Bora Bora Honeymoon or Mini-Moon: What to Know Before You Go

We talk all the time about the amazing honeymoons and mini-moons our couples take—from beach resorts in Mexico to vineyard retreats in California, to driving road trips out west—but one of the most interesting (and unusual) escapes is heading all the way to Bora Bora. Why? Because it turns that post-wedding “Let’s just get away and breathe” trip into something truly unforgettable. You’ll see the turquoise water, over-water bungalows, and think “Yep—this is what’s up.”

Before we dive in, just so you know: popular honeymoon or mini-moon spots also include tropical favorites like the Maldives, the Bahamas, or a sophisticated resort stay in the Italian Riviera. But Bora Bora checks a unique box: remote, vibrant, exotic, tough to get to (so you feel like you earned it) and dripping with “this is our upgraded life” vibe.

So yeah—let’s break it down from zero: what you’ll need, where the heck Bora Bora is, how to get there (from Minnesota, no less), what you should do once you arrive, how long you should stay, and some smart tips so you don’t blow your budget or waste your time.
