will be staying at SRBB for 2 nights next March. but now i found out that the view of Mt Otemanu is actually more impressive from Bora Bora Pearl (i think the post-card stock image usually shown on website is taken from Pearl typically)

so my question is, if i stay in Pearl for 2 nights prior to SRBB, how do i transfer from Pearl to SRBB? do i just go by boat from Pearl back to the Airport first, then have SRBB pick me up from Airport?

my other option is to get to Vaitape, take taxi from Vaitape to Anau, then take SRBB's water shuttle from Anau. i have rang up the hotel and apparently they dont allow folks who have never check in yet to take the complimentary bus shuttle from Vaitape to Anau - which is why the transfer is a conundrum now. moreover, this mode of transport is just simply a pain.

in all honesty the only reason i m contemplating staying in Pearl is just to take the iconic photo of Mt Otemanu.
