Taha'a (The Vanilla Island)
An incredible look at the island of Taha'a, famous for its vanilla plantations and pristine coral gardens.
Northern Motus
A string of tiny, white-sand islets (motus) lining the northern edge of the Taha'a reef system.
Mount Otemanu
The dramatic, jagged basalt peak of Bora Bora that dominates the horizon as the aircraft begins its final descent.
Bora Bora Lagoon
Breathtaking views of the '50 shades of blue' that make this lagoon the most famous in the world, visible just before touchdown.
Motu Mute Landing
A unique landing experience on a coral island strip surrounded entirely by water and reef.
The right side is the 'money side' for this specific leg. For the most vibrant lagoon colors, aim for a mid-day flight (between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM) when the sun is directly overhead. Polarized sunglasses or a CPL filter for your camera are highly recommended to cut through the water's surface glare and see the reef patterns clearly.

Huahine Nui Coastline
Aerial views of the lush, rugged volcanic peaks and the deep blue bays of western Huahine shortly after takeoff.
Raiatea Island
The 'Sacred Island' of French Polynesia, featuring the expansive Fa'aroa Bay and the ancient Taputapuatea marae site.
Teavapiti Pass
The stunning deep-water opening in the reef where the dark ocean swells meet the neon-bright lagoon of Raiatea.
Southern Lagoon Views
A panorama of the vast shared lagoon between Raiatea and Taha'a, dotted with small boats and sandbars.
Sit on the left for a better view of Raiatea's mountainous interior and historical landmarks. Since Air Tahiti often uses open seating on these short hops, arrive at the gate early to secure your spot. The flight is extremely short (about 20 minutes), so have your camera ready the moment you reach cruising altitude.
