An update on the official tourism website reads, “Faced with the resurgence of COVID-19 cases around the world and in order to preserve French Polynesia which has for its part, shown significant improvement for several consecutive weeks, the authorities have decided to temporarily suspend travel to The Islands of Tahiti including for tourists from all origins until further notice.”
According to the new regulations, people who are currently vacationing on the islands can leave when their trip is over but inbound travellers can’t get it until there’s an absolute emergency like deaths, medical crisis, administrative or judicial summons.
More about French Polynesia
Bora Bora and Tahiti are among the most celebrated islands in French Polynesia visited by a large number of tourists every year. The island country is home to the most amazing mammoth moss-green peaks, turquoise lagoons and coral reefs.
One can see dolphins, rays, turtles and more marine life, clearly given the crystal clear waters. There are coral gardens that are excellent for snorkelling, diving and swimming. The beaches here are pristine and calm with long stretches of pink and white sands. With the current ban in place, it looks like this piece of heaven will stay out of reach for a bit longer.
