Boat
The Lagoonarium is located on a motu (small island) on the eastern side of Bora Bora and is typically accessed by boat. Most visitors will need to arrange boat transportation from Vaitape, the main town, or their resort. Many resorts offer shuttle services to various points around the island, including Vaitape, where you can then arrange for a water taxi or boat tour to the Lagoonarium. Alternatively, you can book a tour that includes transportation to and from the Lagoonarium. The cost of a water taxi from Vaitape to the Lagoonarium can range from $30 to $45 each way. Boat tours that include a visit to the Lagoonarium typically cost between $70 and $100 per person, depending on the duration and inclusions.
