Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Bora Bora to Rangiroa. Right side captures the dramatic volcanic scenery at departure (Bora Bora's peaks) which is the most visually striking element of this short inter-island flight. While landing views are comparable on both sides, the takeoff advantage is decisive.

During takeoff from Bora Bora (BOB), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right side offers immediate views of Bora Bora's distinctive volcanic peaks and the surrounding lagoon system as you climb out northwestward. The left side faces open ocean with no significant landmarks during initial climb. Notable sights include: Mount Otemanu (2,385 ft), Bora Bora lagoon with its coral reef barrier, Mount Pahia, Tupai atoll to the northwest.

When landing at Rangiroa (RGI), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left side provides the best approach views of Rangiroa's atoll structure and lagoon as you descend from the southeast. The long, narrow atoll with its distinctive passes and lagoon system is most visible from this angle during final approach. Notable sights include: Rangiroa lagoon (vast shallow turquoise basin), Tiputa Pass (main navigation channel), Avatoru Pass, outer reef barrier.

The flight from Bora Bora (BOB) to Rangiroa (RGI) takes 0h 50m.
