We went recently. Our "must" was renting a small boat with outboard motor and just going all over the lagoon, amazing. Biking was good but not amazing. Go resort hopping, expecially to Bora Bora Nui and Pearl Beach ... Some reviews below:

You will have wonderful time!
Must do drinks at Bloody Mary's, of course. Must try to do some sailing on the lagoon, you can get day-trips with small groups on beautiful catamarans that usually include lunch. Absolutely must snorkel and maybe scuba, if you are qualified, or if brave enough you can also go on one of the shark-feeding excursions. A jeep trip through the jungle and up to the top of the mountain is fascinating, full of WWII history, and the highest point on the island that is only accessible by four wheel drive through the jungle is where you will get the most beautiful photos. And of course, if it is your honeymoon, you have to look into booking in advance through your hotel a beach day on a private "motu" (little island out on the reef), with a gourmet picnic and champagne just for the two of you.
Bring LOTS of sunscreen and insect repellent, because a bad sunburn (very easy to do if you are not used to equatorial sun) or mosquito bites can definitely ruin your trip to paradise. You can buy beautiful pareos down there to use as beach cover ups, so no need to pack those with your bathing suits. (Of course down there many "go native" anyway, so no need to even pack bathing suits if you don't want to! Well, maybe one for snorkel trips.) Don't forget an underwater camera too, because you will never see such sights snorkeling or diving anywhere else in the world.
