Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Rangiroa to Bora Bora. While Rangiroa's atoll is best from the right on departure, Bora Bora's dramatic volcanic landscape on approach is more visually striking and memorable. The left side captures the iconic twin peaks and lagoon system that define Bora Bora.

During takeoff from Rangiroa (RGI), sit on the Right side for the best views. Rangiroa's lagoon and atoll structure are best viewed from the right side during northeasterly departure. You'll see the distinctive ring-shaped reef and turquoise lagoon interior as the aircraft climbs away from the runway. Notable sights include: Rangiroa Atoll (ring-shaped reef structure), Tiputa Pass (main channel through the atoll), turquoise lagoon interior, surrounding Pacific Ocean.

When landing at Bora Bora (BOB), sit on the Left side for the best views. Bora Bora's dramatic volcanic peaks and lagoon are positioned to the left during standard southwesterly approach. The twin peaks of Mount Otemanu and Mount Pahia are striking from this angle, and the lagoon's reef system creates excellent visual contrast. Notable sights include: Mount Otemanu (1,210 m volcanic peak), Mount Pahia (662 m peak), Bora Bora Lagoon with barrier reef, Vaitape settlement on the coast.

The flight from Rangiroa (RGI) to Bora Bora (BOB) takes 0h 45m.
