There is very little to do on bora bora relative to all the other options. It’s stunning beautiful from the room and the snorkeling is the best (must hire a tour though). Otherwise not much is there. I’ll go back but moorea is just as nice or nicer.

I spent a couple of months in Moorea for graduate school. It was amazing.

For diving or snorkeling trips where you are going to stick to the more developed islands, the diving around Moorea is better in general…plus it’s quite a bit less expensive. When go back, if I’m not doing a full on dive trip to some of the farther out islands like Fakarava, I’d probably do the same thing I did last time - like 5 nights on Moorea and 3 on Bora Bora.
