The Edit: This explains exactly how transportation works when staying at The Westin Bora Bora Resort & Spa, including airport boat transfers, mainland dock arrivals from the Anau base, the pre-arrival email process, and the resort’s shuttle schedule to Bora Bora’s main island. We break down transfer logistics, travel times, and the standard shuttle schedule in both directions, along with what to expect when arriving from either location. You’ll also find the official boat schedule, transportation tips, and real traveler insights to help plan your arrival and movement around the island.

Not all arrivals at The Westin Bora Bora go the same way. Depending on whether you are flying into Bora Bora Airport, taking the overnight ferry from Tahiti, or already on the main island when you check in, your travel day looks completely different. This guide walks through how to get to The Westin Bora Bora from every common arrival path so you know exactly what to expect, from the moment you land to the moment you step onto the dock at Motu Tape.
We had been on Bora Bora for about two months before our Westin stay, so our route looked different than what most first-time visitors will experience. We were not flying in. We had a rental car on the main island, an Avis vehicle picked up at the cargo pier weeks earlier after taking the overnight Vaeara’i ferry from Tahiti. So when our check-in day rolled around, we drove ourselves to the Westin’s mainland base in Anau, parked, and caught the 9:00 AM shuttle to the resort.
That detail matters because it changes the lens we are writing from. If you are flying in for the first time and your luggage rolls down a baggage carousel into a tropical breeze, you will meet a Westin representative at the airport’s main hall before you even touch a taxi. If you are coming from somewhere else on the main island, you are coordinating your own ride to Anau, dragging your bags through the open-air waiting area, and boarding the same boat as off-duty staff. Both paths get you to the same dock. The vibe of the day is entirely different.
We took the 9:00 AM boat over and returned on the 5:30 PM the next day, the last regular shuttle back. That gave us about 32 hours on property for a one-night points stay. We had room to swim before our bungalow was ready, do the wine tasting that afternoon, have dinner, sleep in, and still spend a full second day at the pool before catching the boat back. If we had flown in for that one night, we would have spent more time in transit than at the resort.
If you are not flying directly into Bora Bora Airport, the other way to reach the island is by ferry from Tahiti. There are two options, and they differ enough to matter when you are planning the connection to your Westin stay.
| Detail | Apetahi Express | Vaeara’i |
|---|---|---|
| Travel time | ~7 hours | 12-14 hours |
| Departure days | Wed, Fri, Sun mornings | Friday nights |
| Vessel type | Passenger catamaran, daytime | Overnight passenger and cargo ferry |
| Bora Bora arrival point | Main Vaitape town pier | Cargo pier, 1.8 miles north of Vaitape |
| Transportation on arrival | Reliable taxis, central | Industrial area, limited taxi infrastructure |
For Westin guests specifically, the Apetahi Express is the smoother connection because it docks at the central Vaitape pier rather than the industrial cargo pier where the Vaeara’i lands. For the full breakdown of both ferries, read our Apetahi Express guide, our Vaeara’i ferry guide, and our side-by-side ferry comparison.
Whichever ferry you take, it does not deliver you to The Westin. You will need to coordinate transportation across the main island to the Anau base, which is about a 15 to 20 minute drive depending on where you land. Danny’s number in your pocket helps: +689 87 71 79 11. If your ferry arrives late enough that you would miss the last 4:55 PM shuttle from Anau, consider booking a main island accommodation for the night and crossing the following morning.
Here is what nobody tells you clearly enough before you book. Bora Bora’s luxury resorts are not on the main island. They sit on the outer motus, the smaller ring of islands wrapping around the central lagoon. The Westin is on Motu Tape. Every premium resort on the island follows the same setup. They are accessible only by boat.
No matter how you arrive on Bora Bora, the final leg to the Westin is a boat ride. No road. No bridge. You board at one of two pickup points, and a short crossing later you are on Motu Tape.
The Westin operates boat transfers from two mainland locations. The first is Bora Bora Airport on Motu Mute, a separate small island used solely for the airport. If you are flying in, your boat leaves directly from the airport dock. The second is the Westin’s mainland base in Anau, on the east side of the main island. If you are arriving by ferry, by another resort’s boat, or are already on the main island, you board here.
Both connect to the same dock at Motu Tape. The difference is what your day before that boat ride looks like.
If you need to get to the Anau base from anywhere else on the main island, you have three options. The most common is a taxi. Drivers will pick you up from anywhere on the island and run you to the base in 15 to 30 minutes. The driver we used and recommend is Danny at +689 87 71 79 11. Cost from Vaitape to Anau is typically about $40 USD round trip, and he will wait at the dock on your return day. We have used him across multiple resort visits and he has never missed a pickup.
If you are staying at an Airbnb or guesthouse, your host may offer the same service for a fee. Ask when you book. Third option: a rental car. If you have one, drive to Anau, park in the lot near the dock, and leave it during your resort stay.
One of the most common misconceptions we see with Bora Bora arrivals is the idea that you can use the airport ferry to bypass the resort transfer system. The myth goes something like this: a traveler hears about the free shuttle that runs between Bora Bora Airport on Motu Mute and the main island pier in Vaitape, and they assume they can hop on it, get to the airport, and then catch the Westin’s boat over from there. It does not work that way.
The Bora Bora airport shuttle is reserved exclusively for passengers with a flight ticket for that same day. It is operated to move people on and off the island in connection with active air travel, not to ferry resort guests around for free. If you do not have a same-day flight, you will not be allowed to board.
The Westin’s complimentary boat transfer from Bora Bora Airport is similarly not a hop-on service. It is coordinated specifically for confirmed guests with a known flight number and arrival time. This is why the resort’s At Your Service team emails you a few weeks before your stay asking for your flight details, including your inbound flight number, arrival time, outbound flight number, and departure time. They are not asking out of curiosity. They are using that information to schedule your boat against the resort’s shuttle schedule and to staff the airport desk for your arrival window.
If you are already on Bora Bora and not arriving by air on the day of your check-in, you cannot use the airport route. You will need to make your way to the Westin’s mainland base in Anau and catch one of the resort’s scheduled boats from there.
We are pointing this out because we have seen travelers plan around the wrong assumption and then scramble at the last minute when they realize they cannot stitch together a free ride. If you are flying into Bora Bora Airport on the day of your check-in, your transfer is handled. If you are already on the island, you are using the Anau base. Plan accordingly and the day works. Plan around the myth and you will end up calling a taxi at the last minute.
Once your Westin Bora Bora reservation is confirmed, the resort takes the lead on coordinating your boat transfer. You do not need to book it separately. Roughly three weeks before your arrival, the At Your Service team emails the address on your reservation. It is a low-pressure email asking for the information they need to schedule your transfer and prepare for your stay.
The email we received from Peretei Tauotaha, the At Your Service Agent assigned to our booking, walked through the airport meeting point, explained that the boat journey takes about 25 minutes, and confirmed that the round-trip shared boat transfer between the airport and the resort is included in the mandatory destination fee. No upsell, no separate transfer invoice.
Have these ready so you can knock the whole thread out in one reply:
By providing your flight information, you are automatically being added to the resort’s scheduled airport transfer for that day. No separate request needed.
If you do not hear from the resort by the three-week mark or need to coordinate quickly, the two best contact emails are bobwi.ays@westin.com for general arrival coordination and bobwi.conciergerie@westin.com for the concierge team. The main phone line is +689 40 60 51 51.
Bora Bora runs on Tahiti Time, which is the same time zone as Hawaii, so it is significantly behind most North American and European time zones. A message sent during your business hours may not get a response until the following day. Give yourself at least a week of lead time when you can.
If you are arriving via the Anau base rather than the airport, you can mention it in your reply. There is no separate booking required for the Anau shuttle. You just show up before the boat you want to catch.
Bora Bora resort transportation gets confusing fast, and the Westin’s pricing structure is one of the easier ones to misread if you are scanning the internet for answers. The short version: the Westin’s airport boat transfer is included in your daily destination fee. You do not pay separately for the boat ride, the lei greeting, the luggage handoff, or the airport desk agent. It is all bundled.
The longer version involves a destination fee, a couple of side options, and a private water taxi service that exists separately from the Westin’s own shuttle but keeps showing up in confused write-ups online. Here is the full breakdown.
| Transfer or Fee | Price | What It Covers |
|---|---|---|
| Airport boat transfer (round-trip) | Included in destination fee | Westin airport desk meet, lei, luggage, shared boat to Motu Tape, return boat to airport on departure day |
| Daily destination fee (cash bookings) | 11,550 XPF per room per night (~$104 USD) | Round-trip airport transfer, daily Anau base shuttle, lei greeting, champagne, chef’s amenities, beach bag, cultural activities, wellness classes, wine and rum tastings, water bike demo, non-motorized water equipment, WiFi |
| Daily destination fee (points stays) | 550 XPF per room per night (~$5 USD) | Same inclusions as cash booking destination fee |
| Standard main island shuttle | Included | Daily scheduled boats between resort and Anau base, concierge booking required |
| Late evening shuttle (after 5:30 PM) | 1,750 XPF per person per ride | Mandatory advance booking with concierge |
| Taxi Vaitape to Anau base | ~$40 USD round trip | Paid in cash to driver |
The destination fee is where most of the Westin’s included services and amenities live. Round-trip airport transportation, daily Anau base shuttles, the lei greeting, a bottle of champagne, chef’s amenities, the Westin beach bag, and a long list of daily activities are all in there.
The full inclusion list according to the official Marriott property page includes cultural activities, wellness classes, wine or rum tastings, a 30-minute water bike demonstration, access to non-motorized water equipment, and enhanced high-speed internet.
We confirmed this directly with the At Your Service team before our March 2026 visit and verified the math on our actual checkout folio. The points stay rate dropped to 550 XPF per night on our actual folio, line-itemed as “Resort Destination Charges.”
If you have done any research on Westin Bora Bora airport transfers, you have probably seen a 7,000 XPF figure floating around being described as the price of the boat transfer. We want to clear this up because it is causing real confusion for travelers trying to budget their arrival day.
The 7,000 XPF figure is not the price of the Westin’s own boat transfer. The Westin’s own round-trip airport transfer is included in your destination fee, confirmed three times: directly with At Your Service, on the official Marriott property page, and on our own actual folio.
The 7,000 XPF figure is the cost of Taxi Motu, a separate third-party private water taxi service listed on the Marriott property page under “Alternate Airport Transportation.” Taxi Motu is a backup option for travelers who want a private boat ride rather than the resort’s shared shuttle, or who arrive at an unusual hour outside the Westin’s standard transfer schedule. It requires a separate reservation and is paid directly to Taxi Motu, not the resort.
You do not need to pay 7,000 XPF to get from the airport to the Westin. You do not need to book Taxi Motu at all unless you specifically want a private water taxi. The Westin’s complimentary shared transfer handles airport-to-resort logistics for every guest with a standard reservation.
If you are coming from the main island rather than flying in, the Anau base is where your Westin arrival begins. The base sits on a quiet stretch of road on the east side of Bora Bora, opposite from Vaitape. It is small and easy to miss the first time.
The first time we pulled up, we drove past it. Use the local school and the covered basketball court as your first waypoints. Once you see those, you are close. From there, look for the carved wooden Westin Bora Bora Resort & Spa sign on the right side of the road as you head east. It is a dark, diamond-shaped wooden sign mounted on a low stone base. If you use Google Maps, search “Westin Bora Bora Main Island Boat Base” and follow the pin. Drop your bags first, then move your car to the parking lot, then check in. The walk from parking back to the dock with luggage is awkward, so order matters.
The base is functional, not luxurious. There is a small open-air waiting structure with bench seating, a covered roof, and a clear view of the dock. No air conditioning, no full-time concierge desk, no welcome drinks. Think shuttle pickup point, not premium arrival lounge.
When the boat is about to depart, a Westin staff member appears to check names, scan reservations, and load luggage. Before that, you are waiting on your own. Bring a book, keep your bags close, and stay aware of the time.
Arrive about 25 minutes before your scheduled boat. That covers parking, dropping bags, and being ready to board. Bora Bora time is forgiving in most situations, but the Westin shuttle is more structured. The boat leaves on schedule. If you are late, you are catching the next one.
The crossing from Anau to Motu Tape takes about 10 minutes. The boat is a standard shuttle vessel, not the white-glove airport transfer boat. You may share the ride with off-duty Westin staff, vendors, or supplies headed to the resort. As you pull away from the base, you get a wide-angle view of Mount Otemanu, and as you approach Motu Tape, the overwater bungalow strip and main pool deck come into focus. Short ride, but it sets the tone.
If you are flying into Bora Bora Airport on the day of your check-in, your arrival looks completely different than the Anau base experience. The resort handles your transfer from the moment your plane lands. No driving, no parking, no luggage logistics. You walk off the plane, find the Westin desk in the airport hall, and the rest is coordinated for you.
Bora Bora Airport, code BOB, sits on its own small island called Motu Mute, north of the main island. Like most small French Polynesian airports, the terminal itself is open-air. Shaded roof, no walls to speak of, ocean breeze moving through the building. If you have flown into Nuku Hiva or any of the smaller island airports out here, you know the layout. There is no road off the airport. Every resort transfer happens by boat from the airport dock.
Once you exit the arrivals area, the resort desks line the main hall in a row. The Westin’s desk is clearly marked with branding and staff in resort uniforms. The agent has your reservation on hand from your pre-arrival coordination, greets you with a flower lei, takes your luggage tags, and walks you out to the dock together.
This is what makes the airport arrival feel materially nicer than Anau. You are not managing bags. You are not waiting on a deckhand. You are being walked through it.
The boat ride to the resort takes about 25 minutes. The resort is approximately 5.6 miles (9 kilometers) from the airport, which is a longer crossing than the 10 minute hop from Anau. The longer ride is the better part. Slow, wide-angle approach to Motu Tape, Mount Otemanu in the distance, lagoon shifting color underneath the boat.
The airport transfer boat is the resort’s nicer arrival vessel. Comfortable, no real prep needed.
When the boat docks at Motu Tape, the resort team takes your bags and walks you up to the open-air check-in pavilion. We cover the full check-in experience in our full Westin Bora Bora Resort & Spa review. The short version: the airport path delivers you directly into the resort’s arrival ceremony. By the time your bags are heading to your bungalow, you are seated with a welcome drink.
If you arrived by airport boat, you do not think about transportation again until departure. The same boat handles your return ride, coordinated to your outbound flight.
Standard Westin boat transfers run as shared shuttles. You board with other arriving or departing guests on the same scheduled crossing. For most travelers, this is the right call. Included in the destination fee, runs on a known schedule, and the ride is short enough that sharing it does not affect the experience.
That said, there are situations where private transfers come up. Maybe your flight does not line up with a scheduled airport transfer. Maybe you are celebrating something and want the arrival to yourselves. Here is what is actually available.
Shared is the default. Included in your destination fee, runs on the standard schedule for both the airport and Anau, and is coordinated automatically through At Your Service after you provide your flight details. A shared airport transfer is calm even when full. Short crossing, comfortable seating, luggage loaded for you. The Anau shuttle feels different. Smaller boat, more utilitarian, sometimes shared with off-duty staff or supplies, but only a 10 minute ride.
Private transfers are available but not promoted. They are arranged on request through At Your Service and priced separately from the destination fee. The best approach is to ask in your pre-arrival email thread. Pricing varies by time of day and route, so ask for current pricing in writing.
The third-party Taxi Motu service is technically a private water taxi option, listed on the Marriott property page at 7,000 XPF one-way. It is operated independently from the Westin and reserved directly through their service. Most travelers do not use it. The Westin’s shared transfer handles standard arrivals, and private transfers through At Your Service tend to be more polished.
| Transfer Type | Cost | When to Use |
|---|---|---|
| Shared airport transfer | Included in destination fee | Standard arrivals on confirmed flight schedules |
| Shared Anau base shuttle | Included | Arriving from the main island on a scheduled run |
| Private At Your Service transfer | Quoted on request | Special occasions, off-schedule arrivals, privacy preference |
| Taxi Motu (third-party) | 7,000 XPF one-way | Alternate option for unusual scheduling |
For most travelers, the shared transfer is the right call. Only look at private options if you have a specific reason the shared transfer does not handle.
Most travelers will not actually choose between the airport transfer and the Anau base. How you arrive at the Westin is determined by how you got to Bora Bora. If you are flying in, you are using the airport. If you are already on the main island, you are using Anau. Still, it is worth knowing how the two compare.
| Factor | Airport Transfer | Anau Base Shuttle |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Included in destination fee | Included in destination fee |
| Boat ride time | About 25 minutes | About 10 minutes |
| Coordination | Fully handled by resort | You manage your own ride to the base |
| Greeting | Lei, luggage handoff, escort to boat | Boat staff check-in only |
| Boat quality | Nicer arrival vessel | Standard shuttle vessel |
| Vibe | White-glove arrival ceremony | Functional pickup |
| Schedule flexibility | Coordinated to your flight | Fixed daily schedule |
| Luggage handling | Done for you start to finish | You manage at the base |
| Best for | First-time visitors, honeymooners, polished arrivals | Island hoppers, slow travelers, anyone already on the main island |
If this is your first time in Bora Bora, if you are arriving for a honeymoon or anniversary, or if you want your arrival day to feel like the start of something special, the airport transfer is the better path by a wide margin. The lei greeting, the longer crossing with Mount Otemanu in the distance, and the seamless handoff to the resort dock team make it feel like part of the Westin experience, not a logistical step.
The Anau base fits a different kind of traveler. If you are island hopping, if you took the ferry and have been on the main island for a few days, or if you are slow traveling, Anau fits how you are moving. We did exactly this for a one-night points stay. Drove to Anau, caught the 9:00 AM boat, spent 32 hours on property, caught the 5:30 PM boat back. If we had flown in for that one night, we would have spent more time in transit than at the resort.
Some travelers fly into the airport, spend a night or two on the main island first, then cross to the Westin from the Anau base when they are ready. You give up the white-glove airport arrival, but you gain time exploring the main island and seeing parts of Bora Bora most resort guests never encounter. Worth considering depending on the kind of trip you are planning.
If you are arriving via the Anau base or planning to leave the resort during your stay to explore the main island, the shuttle schedule is the most important piece of logistics to know. The Westin runs scheduled boats throughout the day in both directions, and you will plan your day around these times.
| Direction | Departure Times |
|---|---|
| From Anau base to resort | 9:00 AM, 12:45 PM, 4:10 PM, 4:55 PM |
| From resort to Anau base | 8:45 AM, 12:30 PM, 5:30 PM |
| Late shuttles (resort to Anau, requires booking) | 5:35 PM, 6:05 PM, 9:15 PM |
Standard shuttle runs during the regular schedule are included in your destination fee. You do not pay separately for these boats. The late shuttles after 5:30 PM are priced at 1,750 XPF per person per ride and require an advance booking with the concierge. These late shuttles exist primarily for guests with dinner reservations off-property or special evening plans on the main island.
A few things to know before relying on the schedule. All shuttle boats require booking with the concierge ahead of time, even the included ones. Walk-ons are not guaranteed if the boat is at capacity. The schedule can shift slightly during low season or weather events, so confirm the current day’s times with the concierge the night before. The last standard return boat to the main island leaves at 5:30 PM, which is something to keep in mind if you are planning a sunset off-property or a dinner that runs late.
A common question in Bora Bora travel groups: is there a shuttle between the Westin and the St. Regis? The short answer is no. Each resort runs its own boats from its own mainland base. That does not mean cross-resort visits are off the table. You have two real paths.
Take the Westin shuttle back to the Anau base, taxi over to the St. Regis mainland base nearby, and board the St. Regis boat to their resort. Danny is your easiest taxi option at +689 87 71 79 11 since he knows both bases well.
You will also coordinate two separate boat schedules. The Westin’s outbound has to align with the St. Regis’s departure, and your return has to fit both resorts’ last boats of the day. Build the full timing with both concierge teams ahead of time.
The second path is the one most travelers do not know is available. Ask your concierge to arrange a direct private boat between the two motus, skipping the mainland entirely.
This is what the concierge will quietly suggest when you ask the best way to visit the St. Regis from the Westin. It is faster, simpler, and less stressful on a day already built around a reservation. Pricing varies, so ask the concierge for current pricing in writing.
For most travelers, the direct boat is worth the cost. The mainland route saves money but adds an hour of logistics on both ends.
If you want to experience another motu resort without the back-and-forth, book a day pass directly with the resort you want to visit. Our full Bora Bora day pass guide walks through pricing and what is included at each.
If you have any flexibility in your itinerary, there is a strategy worth considering: spend a night or two on Bora Bora’s main island before crossing to the Westin. We did exactly this for two months before our stay, and the perspective it gave us made the Westin portion of the trip better, not worse.
The main island has its own restaurants, snorkel spots, and hikes that resort guests rarely see. A night at a local guesthouse or Airbnb on the main island costs a fraction of a Westin night, and it gives you time to explore Vaitape, eat at family-run restaurants, and meet the people who actually live on Bora Bora.
When you are ready to start the resort portion of your trip, you take a taxi to the Anau base, catch the 9:00 AM shuttle, and step onto Motu Tape with all the context of having seen the real Bora Bora first. The contrast makes the Westin experience hit harder.
Once you step off the boat at Motu Tape, the logistics portion of your trip is essentially over. The dock team takes your bags. Someone walks you up to the check-in pavilion. You sit, you get a welcome drink, and the resort handles everything from there. For the full picture of what your Westin Bora Bora stay actually looks like, including the overwater bungalow we stayed in, the food, the activities, and our honest take on whether the resort is worth the points or the cash, read our full Westin Bora Bora Resort & Spa review.
This post is part of our larger Westin Bora Bora coverage. For more on what to expect during your stay, here are the other guides worth reading before you go.
If you are flying in, the best way to get to the Westin Bora Bora is the resort’s complimentary airport boat transfer, included in your destination fee and coordinated by At Your Service before your arrival. If you are already on the main island, you will catch a scheduled shuttle from the Westin’s Anau base on the east side of the island.
The airport boat transfer is included in the resort’s mandatory daily destination fee, which is 11,550 XPF per room per night for cash bookings and 550 XPF per room per night for points stays. You do not pay separately for the boat ride, the lei greeting, the airport desk meet, or the return transfer on your departure day.
About 25 minutes from the airport dock to the Westin’s main arrival dock on Motu Tape. The resort is approximately 5.6 miles (9 kilometers) from the airport.
About 10 minutes from the Anau mainland base to Motu Tape. The Anau base sits on the east side of Bora Bora’s main island, directly across from the resort’s motu.
Once you exit the arrivals area, head to the main hall and look for the Westin Bora Bora desk. A resort representative will greet you with a flower lei, take your luggage, and walk you out to the boat.
No. The Bora Bora airport ferry is reserved for travelers with a same-day flight ticket only. If you are already on the main island, you must use the Westin’s Anau base shuttle instead.
Taxi Motu is a separate third-party private water taxi service listed as an alternate option on the Westin’s official Marriott property page. It costs 7,000 XPF one-way and requires a separate reservation. You do not need to use Taxi Motu. The Westin’s complimentary shared transfer handles standard arrivals at no extra cost.
From the Anau base to the resort: 9:00 AM, 12:45 PM, 4:10 PM, and 4:55 PM. From the resort to the Anau base: 8:45 AM, 12:30 PM, and 5:30 PM. Late shuttles after 5:30 PM are available for 1,750 XPF per person per ride and require advance booking with the concierge.
Yes. All Westin shuttle boats, including the included ones, require booking with the concierge ahead of time. Walk-ons are not guaranteed if the boat is at capacity.
There is a parking lot near the Anau base dock. The lot is not large, but it is sufficient for the volume of guests using the shuttle on any given day. Drop your luggage first, then park, then walk back to the waiting area.
Yes, but private transfers are not promoted as a standard offering. They are arranged on request through the At Your Service team and priced separately from the destination fee. Ask for current pricing in writing when you inquire.
No, the resorts do not operate a coordinated shuttle between each other. There are two ways to handle a cross-resort visit. The first is to take the Westin shuttle back to the Anau base, take a short taxi over to the St. Regis mainland base, then board the St. Regis boat to their resort. Taxi driver Danny is reliable for that cross-island leg at +689 87 71 79 11. The second option is to ask your hotel concierge about arranging a direct boat transfer between the two motus, which skips the mainland double-stop entirely. The concierge team at whichever resort you are staying at can quote pricing and timing for a direct private boat. If you are weighing both options, the concierge route is the easier ask.
The resort coordinates transfers to your specific flight arrival time, not a fixed schedule, so most arrivals are handled even outside typical hours. Confirm your flight details with At Your Service well in advance to make sure your transfer is on the books.
If you arrived by airport boat, the same transfer covers your return. The resort schedules your departure boat against your outbound flight time. If you arrived via the Anau base, you will catch the standard Anau base shuttle back on your departure day.
