I have never visited Bora Bora, and I probably never will.

The second instance of "will visit Bora Bora" is not essential here, is understood from the context and thus can be dropped.

This one's an old classic problem --- one that goes way back to the Y2K days!

"I haven't visited Bora Bora, and I probably never will." --- is fine.

Just remember, at least on the GMAT, And is a parallel marker and the sentence needs to be structurally parallel.

Since "visited" and "visit" are different (tense-wise), the original sentence is not structurally parallel and is therefore considered incorrect. :)

Still there are "visited" and "visit" in the correct sentence. I have never visited Bora Bora, and I probably never will. I mean, how is the answer correct in terms of parallelism?
