Which side of the plane to sit from Huahine-Fare Airport (Huahine Island) to Faa'a International Airport (Papeete)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a front-row seat to the breathtaking jagged peaks of Moorea and the vibrant turquoise lagoons that define French Polynesia's beauty.
Huahine Lagoon
Aerial perspective of the stunning coral gardens and clear waters surrounding the departure island.
Maiao Island
A rare glimpse of the 'Forbidden Island' located west of the typical flight path.
Moorea Peaks
Incredible views of Mount Rotui and the iconic shark-tooth spires of Moorea.
Cook's Bay
The deep, dramatic blue waters of Moorea's world-famous bays cutting into the green volcanic landscape.
Tahiti Barrier Reef
The intricate patterns of the reef and surf breaking against the coast of Tahiti as the plane descends.
The right side is essential for seeing Moorea, which is the highlight of this short flight. Sit behind the wing on the ATR aircraft for an unobstructed view of the lagoons. The flight is very short (approx. 35 mins), so keep your camera ready from the moment the seatbelt sign turns off.
Huahine Nui Coastline
Sweeping views of the northern part of Huahine island immediately after takeoff.
Pacific Blue
The deep, mesmerizing indigo of the open ocean between the Society Islands.
Tetiaroa Atoll
On clear days, the distant white sands of Marlon Brando's private island may be visible to the east.
Papeete Port
A detailed view of the bustling harbor and the urban landscape of Tahiti's capital during landing.
Choose the left side if you want to see the urban layout of Papeete and the northern mountains of Tahiti Nui upon arrival. Morning flights are best to avoid the glare of the southern sun reflecting off the ocean.
