Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Moorea to Bora Bora. While the takeoff from Moorea favors the right side, the approach to Bora Bora from the left offers more dramatic scenery. The twin peaks of Otemanu and Pahia are among the most visually striking landmarks in French Polynesia, and the left side provides the optimal viewing angle during descent and landing.

During takeoff from Temae (MOZ), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer the best views during climb-out from Moorea. You'll see Mount Tohivea (1,207 m) dominating the island's interior, and the dramatic volcanic peaks of the Cook and Opunohu bays as you gain altitude. The turquoise lagoon and fringing reef will be clearly visible beneath you. Notable sights include: Mount Tohivea, Opunohu Bay, Cook Bay, Moorea's fringing coral reef system.

When landing at Bora Bora (BOB), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide superior views on approach to Bora Bora. Mount Otemanu (727 m) and Mount Pahia (661 m) will dominate your view as you descend, with the distinctive twin peaks clearly visible against the sky. The lagoon's complex reef system and motu (small islands) scattered around the perimeter create striking patterns in the shallow water. Notable sights include: Mount Otemanu, Mount Pahia, Bora Bora lagoon, motu islands and reef system.

The flight from Temae (MOZ) to Bora Bora (BOB) takes Approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour.

The flight path crosses open ocean between the two islands. You'll pass over the Leeward Islands chain; depending on exact routing, you may see Huahine or Raiatea on the horizon to the south. The open Pacific shows deep blue water with occasional whitecaps. No major landmarks occupy the midpoint, but the transition from Moorea's lagoon system to Bora Bora's distinctive reef pattern is the primary visual progression.
