I have being to both and you are right on e everything. Loved both.
The video I didn’t know I needed but definitely did 😂 Thanks for sharing! ❤️
Thank You for this video I always appreciate your tips. Both are beautiful. Leave it to me but one thing I thought of with Maldives is there's no place to get away from a Tsunami where Bora Bora has mountains to escape. Keep up the great videos, Love You Guys.
The two are awesome destinations for holidays, i would like to visit either of them
Excellent 🥰😘
For people in the US, Bora is far easier to get to and less travel time, IMO at the higher resorts I found it cheaper than higher end resorts at the Maldives. Bora bora is less crowded but that might have been when I was there, Male airport is very busy with a lot more international flights. IF your spending $10K-$20K+ on either a honeymoon or can't decide on which one to go to, I'd recommend the Maldives, that would be my pick, but just know after 3-4 days from activities and exploring whatever island your on in the Maldives, you might feel a lit bit of ground hog day. It can be a challenge getting transfers to other islands and generally once you picked a resort you will be there for the entire trip. Bora bora does offer more flexibility but I didn't find Bora Bora island that interesting, there is a small town that you can walk around but generally most shops are selling pearls lol Also and while I hate to say this since the service and workers is the best it gets, St Regis is dated, for the money they need to invest money around the pool/bar area and that's where most people tend to spend most of their time, Conrad is a lot more modern/newer. As mentioned in the video Maldives offers a wide arrange of budgets and many resorts to choose from, but my only advice is go to a resort from Male as far as you can since some of the resorts around Male are not what you would expect of the Maldives. That's just my 2cents and some good tips in this video.
Great video!! Which resort did you stay at during your honeymoon / first visit to Bora Bora? I'm looking to see book one next year 😀
Finally! I am so glad you shared your input 🥰
I’m going to both 🙃 thank you

Kevin & Kelly, thanks for making this video. In 2019 my wife and stayed at the Four Seasons in Bora Bora for our 10th Anniversary. We were there for a week then left for 5 days in Morea and we stayed at the Hilton. Needless to say the Hilton under any other circumstances would have been great; but we went to the Four Season first and were spoiled.
My wife wants to go to the Maldives and that is just not a bucket list for me. I am planning a return trip to Bora Bora in 2024 for our 15th Anniversary and plan to stay again at the Four Seasons AND a few days at the St. Regis just because she wanted to see that resort as well.
I told her that Bora Bora is my choice for all that you two mentioned and you really lost me with 40+ hours of travel to the Maldives. I thought the flight from Baltimore to LA then LA to Tahiti was long, I think I would rather do that flight again. 🙂
I just subscribed to your channel and plan to look at a few more of your videos.

I wanted to go to Bora Bora however I'm traveling solo and I found that the Maldives is more solo friendly.
Having been to Maldives 5 times, I loved every minute of it – it was easier for me to get to the Maldives from the UK. French Polynesia is a long way from the UK but Bora Bora is on my bucket list although I know it is very expensive which will leave me Poorer Poorer LOL.
I have been to Maldives in the dry season (Feb-Mar). Because I am a Muslim of Pakistani heritage but born and bred in the UK, Maldives was much better for me on a cultural level and food-wise too.
Maldives is much nicer. You guys just love to explore more. You go on holiday to chill and relax not run through the entry country. Same with your Seychelles video it is more of an explore country.
My favorites when it comes to islands I've visited are; 1 Seychelles, 2 French Polynesia, 3 Maldives, 4, Fiji, 5 Hawaii. Cooke Islands and the Bahamas are still on my bucket list.
I went to bora in April and planning to return this April. Many people say its boring and overrated definitely not the case. It can be pricey but it has to be its literally in the middle of no where.
I wanna go in feb with mt wife tell me the best package please
Bora Bora love because of kim k my ear is got
I'd love to go to the Maldives 💙
Just finished a 3 nights at the Conrad Maldives and currently at the W Maldives for our last 2 nights. I can say that if you are going for a honey or anniversary AND want the full experience from start to finish, meaning fly business/first class from US to the Maldives then I would say Maldives as there are more options. I agreed it’s on the more expensive side compared with bora bora, but you truly feel like it’s paradise in the Maldives. It’s probably because you’re in an island surrounded with 🏝 compare with the mountain in bora bora. The view of island chains from your seaplane flight to your destination is unreal. To me bora bora feels more like Hawaii with better reef and beaches.
Not sure these guys have even travelled to any of the two locations
excellent dear
I vote Bora Bora becauyse of its paradise-like nature
Bora Bora #1
Before the Maldives sink lol
Thank you your awesome video.
What currency is used in Tahiti?
Thank you

ARE YOU KIDDING ME . BORA BORA ALL THE WAY 24/7 /365. LAX to PAPEETE TO BORA BORA AND OF COURSE THE FOUR SEASONS BORA BORA AND THE ST.REGIS BORA BORA. LOVE THE FRENCH, LOVE THE PEOPLE IN TAHITI, THE SUNSETS WERE BREATHTAKING. BIKE RIDES, ATV'S, LOCAL SHOPPING, HELICOPTER RIDES. BORA BORAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Love the map at the beginning 😊
Great video! Going to check out your other videos.
We been to Maldives 🇲🇻! It was amazing!
Going to Bora Bora soon. Thanks for sharing your videos.
You should both consider Rarotonga
Maldives is the top destination with incredible hospitality, beaches, and accommodations. I had the best two weeks in my life there. Bora Bora was quite disappointing to me. I think it is quite overrated and overpriced. People were not as friendly, and the resort had no shrimp our entire stay. As for me, there is no comparison between those two destinations.
Hopefully I'II get that winning lottery ticket one of these days and get to go to one of these exotic places.
Maldives has high crime and violence
What was the total you spent in each location? What do you do for a living to afford luxury travels like this? Or are you both influencers getting it for free?

best beach vacation is Hawaii. if you think maldives or bora bora can compete with Hawaii's natural beauty, you are out of your mind.
I am outraged Maldives is much better ignore them.
I swam from the Maldives to Bora Bora once
First time watching your videos. Very informative. Thanks for sharing
If I love those two places I highly recommended Culebra,Puerto Rico. 2hr 1/2 flight from USA east coast and it's part of USA….look for Flamenco beach 😍
Very easy.. one is Muslim, one isn't.. it's that simple..
Bora Bora could be too crowded for me. It will be better to travel on a yacht and visit Bora Bora for 2 days, then move on to the neighboring islands. Maldives is definitely my favorite place. I can imagine the resort is much more relaxing than Bora Bora where bars and restaurants are cluttered along the lagoon. If you are in your own Maldives resort, you won’t mess up with other people from other resorts. Everything is exclusive on your own resort in Maldives.
