We did a 17 day Tahiti cruise earlier this year, followed by 4 days in Bora Bora. It was nice in Bora Bora, but quite expensive. We did one of those over the water bungalows which I enjoyed a lot, and the place we stayed had a "free" breakfast that was delightful every day. We did not rent a car, walked to shops and restaurants. We did have a stop at Moorea, and there was more to do there, but I think you would require a car there. I am quite certain you could rent a taxi very easily, too. Travel agents that were on our cruise were surprised we did our after trip in Bora Bora instead of Moorea. We did get on a boat from the cruise ship to Bora Bora, and it did cost a little more, but they retrieved our bags from inside the terminal and they were already on the boat headed to Bora Bora. Then we took another boat from Bora Bora to Tahiti at the conclusion of our stay. Hope your trip is as memorable as ours was.

Yes Waypoints formelrly CYOA. We have our boats registered to go to the BVI's as well but a growing number of clients opt to stay in the USVI and teh SVI.

If you’re visiting the Griffin Museum of Science and Industry or the Obama Presidential Center from downtown Chicago, CTA’s #10 express serves both year-round, including weekends. It runs from North Michigan Avenue through the Loop. The CTA route page lists the last northbound #10 at 6:10 p.m. on weekdays and 6 p.m. on weekends. For a later return, check the #6 Jackson Park Express. It also serves both destinations and runs substantially later, but check the stop and departure for your date.

If you’re flying through LAX and taking Metro, the C and K Lines stop at LAX/Metro Transit Center. From there, take the free Metro Connector Shuttle from bays 1 or 2 to your terminal. Going the other way, look for the pink LAX Shuttle sign on the lower arrivals level and board the Metro Connector Shuttle.

LAX lists shuttle hours as 4 a.m. to 1 a.m. daily, with buses about every 10 minutes on average. The airport’s SkyLink people mover is still in testing and certification as of Nov. 7. For a future trip, check the airport’s page for any opening announcement.

If you are planning to use Muni buses, streetcars or Metro in San Francisco, SFMTA is gradually retiring the MuniMobile ticketing app. Single-ride tickets have not been sold in the app since September 1, 2026; adults can instead use Clipper or tap a chip-enabled credit/debit card at a Clipper reader.

Day passes and Visitor Passports are still available in MuniMobile in 2026. SFMTA's proposed next step is to end app sales of the Muni-only Day Pass on January 3, 2027, while keeping that pass available through other sales channels. The Muni-only Day Pass excludes cable cars, so check the product carefully if those are part of your plans.

Before buying for a future visit, check SFMTA's current transition schedule: https://www.sfmta.com/getting-around/muni/fares/munimobile
