Desired destination(s) Start in Bora Bora (5nights), then to Sydney (4nights), Great Barrier Reef (4-5nights), Singapore (3 nights)

Mental, round the world in 16 nights. I know it's not necessarily helpful, but you do know it's about 26 hours to Bora Bora, then 13+ hours to Sydney. I hope someone has taken you to one side and warned you about the travelling times and the consequences of jet lag, particularly if you're flying economy.

I'm not saying this to be difficult, but it is quite an extreme itinerary, and hope (and presume) you've thought it through.

And to try and be helpful now, three companies that could be excellent for this itinerary - Trailfinders (obviously), Bridge & Wickers, Turquoise Holidays (latter 2 specialise in Pacific / Oz) - get them to price it up for you, i'll be amazed if you get much response on here.

mckat and bbaby, please do not be surprised if you do not receive any replies. This is a 'Beat My Quote' thread yet you have not provided a quote to be beaten, you have stated your budget and requirements and are now asking people to find a holiday for you.
