## Verified facts

- Bora Bora is in the Leeward Islands of the Society Islands, French Polynesia (an overseas collectivity of France), about 260 km northwest of Tahiti; Air Tahiti flies there in about 50 minutes nonstop (airtahiti.com).
- The airport is on Motu Mute; the Air Tahiti shuttle boat to Vaitape takes about 15 minutes and is included in the air ticket.
- Mount Otemanu, the highest point, is 727 m. The lagoon has one pass to the ocean, Teavanui, on the west side.
- Jet skis are regulated by the DPAM (Direction polynesienne des affaires maritimes). Renting one alone needs a coastal boat licence; an approved guided convoy on a pre-set route needs no licence (service-public.pf/dpam).
- Life jackets with a light and a kill switch are mandatory on jet skis in French Polynesia. A buoyed swimming area in Povai Bay (2019) is closed to jet skis.
- December 2025: about 574 ha of the southern reef off Matira became a full reserve where all activity is banned (Outremers360).
- French Polynesia's waters have been a shark sanctuary since 2006. Feeding or attracting sharks and rays is prohibited (Tahiti Tourisme guidance). Blacktip reef sharks are the most common lagoon shark.
- Seasons (Meteo-France): wetter November to April, drier May to October; cyclone season November to April. Humpback whales July to November (Tahiti Tourisme).
- Entry: US and UK visitors up to 90 days without a visa for tourism; French Polynesia's rules are separate from Schengen. Currency: CFP franc (XPF), at a fixed parity guaranteed by France.

## Corrections to claims found elsewhere

- Bora Bora is not in Fiji, and it is not the island of Tahiti: it is a separate island of French Polynesia about 260 km from Tahiti; Fiji is about 3,274 km away.
- A licence is not needed for a guided jet ski tour in French Polynesia; it is needed to rent a jet ski alone.
- A two-hour jet ski tour includes stops (a motu and a swim stop on the main listings): riding time is less than two hours.
- Shark and ray feeding is not part of the tours listed here; the snorkel safaris state that they do not feed the animals.
