Which side of the plane to sit from Bora Bora Airport (Bora Bora) to Huahine-Fare Airport (Huahine Island)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an unrivaled perspective of Mount Otemanu immediately after takeoff from Bora Bora and provides the most comprehensive views of the shared lagoon between Taha'a and Raiatea.
Mount Otemanu
A stunning, close-up view of Bora Bora's iconic volcanic peak rising 727 meters above the lagoon.
Raiatea & Taha'a Lagoon
The plane flies directly between these twin islands, offering a panoramic view of their shared coral reef system.
Fa'aroa Bay
Spot the deep, emerald-green bay on Raiatea, which houses the only navigable river in French Polynesia.
Overwater Bungalows
Bird's-eye view of the world-famous resorts dotting the Bora Bora lagoon during the initial climb.
Huahine's Lush Peaks
The rugged, jungle-covered mountains of Huahine come into full view during the approach to the airport.
This is the premier side for photography. Sit as far forward or as far back as possible to ensure the ATR's landing gear and engines don't obstruct your view of Mount Otemanu. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the islands perfectly for photos.
Bora Bora Motus
Aerial views of the thin strips of sand and luxury resorts lining the northern edge of the lagoon.
Barrier Reef Drop-off
Witness the dramatic transition from the neon-turquoise shallow waters to the deep indigo of the Pacific Ocean.
Taha'a Northern Bays
Look down upon the secluded bays of the 'Vanilla Island' and its surrounding coral gardens.
Huahine-Nui Coastline
Clear views of the northern reefs and the village of Fare as the aircraft enters its final descent.
Choose the left side if you want to see the outer reef structures and avoid direct sun glare during midday flights. Since Air Tahiti usually operates with open seating, arrive at the gate at least 30 minutes early to secure a window seat away from the high-wing engines.
