What's the timezone history of Bora Bora?
Bora Bora keeps UTC-10 with the rest of French Polynesia, the same offset as Tahiti and as distant Hawaii, with no daylight saving observed across the territory. Lying deep in the eastern South Pacific, the island is among the last places on earth to start each day. The offset places it two to three hours behind the western coast of North America, from which many of its visitors travel, a gap small enough that the long flights, rather than the time change, are the greater adjustment.
What are the working hours in Bora Bora?
Tourism is effectively the whole economy, and the working life of the island revolves around its resorts: hospitality, diving, lagoon excursions, and the services that support them run on the rhythms of guests rather than an office day. The luxury trade keeps occupancy high through much of the year, with peaks over the North American and European holiday seasons. French and Tahitian are both spoken, and the calendar follows the French and Polynesian observances, including the island's own lively Heiva celebrations in July.
Where is Bora Bora?
Bora Bora is a small island in the Leeward group of the Society Islands, around 260 kilometres north-west of Tahiti, in French Polynesia. Fewer than 11,000 people live on it, around a central pair of volcanic peaks encircled by a turquoise lagoon and a ring of low coral islets. The lagoon and the overwater bungalows built out over it have made the island one of the most celebrated luxury-resort destinations in the world, its economy almost wholly given over to tourism.
