Tipping in Bora Bora, like in many other parts of French Polynesia, is generally not expected, but it is appreciated for exceptional service.
Here’s a quick guide on tipping practices in Bora Bora:
- Restaurants and Cafés: A service charge is often included in the bill, so tipping is not mandatory. However, if you receive excellent service, leaving a small tip (around 5-10% of the total bill) is a nice gesture.
- Hotels and Resorts: Staff at high-end resorts generally do not expect tips because they are paid fair wages. However, tipping porters, housekeeping, or other staff members who go out of their way to assist you is appreciated. A small tip is common.
- Tour Guides and Excursions: If you take a guided tour, a tip is generally appreciated, especially if the guide was engaging and provided excellent service.
- Taxis and Transfers: Tipping taxi drivers is not customary, but you can round up the fare or add a small amount if the driver helps with luggage or provides extra service.
- Spa Services: For spa treatments, tipping is not expected, but if you are very satisfied, you can leave around 5-10% of the service.
Overall, while tipping is not obligatory in French Polynesia, it is seen as a kind and appreciated gesture when service exceeds expectations.
