HUH → MOZ
Which side of the plane to sit from Huahine-Fare Airport (Huahine Island) to Moorea Airport (Moorea)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of Moorea's iconic north coast, including the world-famous Opunohu and Cook's Bays, during the descent and landing sequence.
Huahine Nui Lagoon
Aerial view of the northern turquoise lagoon and the lush slopes of Huahine Nui during takeoff.
Open Ocean Transit
Deep indigo waters of the Pacific between the Leeward and Windward island groups.
Opunohu Bay
Dramatic view of one of Moorea's two deep, fjord-like bays as the aircraft begins its approach.
Cook's Bay
Famous scenic bay known for its jagged volcanic backdrop and crystal clear waters.
Northern Motus
Small coral islets and the vibrant reef edge protecting Moorea's northern coastline.
Choose a seat in the front or very rear of the ATR aircraft to avoid the high-wing and engine structure. Morning flights provide excellent light on the northern bays, while afternoon flights may experience some shadows from the high peaks. Keep your camera ready as the descent into MOZ is very short.
Huahine Bridge
A view of the narrow bridge connecting Huahine Nui and Huahine Iti across the Maroe Bay.
Mount Tohivea
The highest peak on Moorea, showcasing the island's extreme volcanic topography during the final approach.
Island of Maiao
On clear days, look south to spot the secluded 'Forbidden Island' of Maiao in the distance.
West Moorea Reef
Extensive reef systems and shallow lagoons on the western side of Moorea.
The right side is ideal for seeing the interior mountain ranges of both islands. If the flight path takes a southern approach, you'll get a better look at the surf breaks on the outer reef. Afternoon sun will be behind you, providing great saturation for photos of the greenery.
