MOZ → HUH
Which side of the plane to sit from Moorea Airport (Moorea) to Huahine-Fare Airport (Huahine Island)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most iconic aerial views of Moorea's twin bays at departure and the most vibrant lagoon colors when approaching Huahine.
Cook's Bay
Aerial perspective of the iconic deep-water bay and its surrounding peaks.
Opunohu Bay
Uninterrupted views of Moorea's secondary, lush northern bay.
Northern Motus
Dazzling turquoise lagoons and white sand islets surrounding Huahine Nui.
Fare Village
The quaint coastal capital and its reef-protected harbor on final approach.
The right side is the clear winner for scenery lovers. To secure these views, board early as Air Tahiti often uses open seating (no assigned seats). Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff from Moorea for the bays and about 10 minutes before landing for the Huahine reefs. Polarized sunglasses will help you see through the water's surface to the coral formations below.
Mount Tohivea
Glimpse the towering volcanic spires of Moorea's interior as you depart.
Pacific Expanse
Deep blue waters of the Society Islands archipelago during the short cruise.
Huahine Iti
Views of the southern, wilder part of the island as you near the destination.
Maroe Bay
The scenic bridge linking the two main islands of Huahine.
Choose the left side if you want a closer look at the rugged, mountainous interior of Moorea and the quieter, southern parts of Huahine. Morning flights are ideal for the left side to keep the sun behind you. This side is slightly better for seeing the connection between the two parts of Huahine upon arrival.
