BOB

When landing at Bora Bora (BOB), sit on the Right side for the best views. Landing on runway 11 (heading 124°), the aircraft approaches from the northwest over the open Pacific and lagoon, with Bora Bora's main island — dominated by the jagged peak of Mount Otemanu — sitting off to the south, which puts it on the right side of the plane. The turquoise lagoon, its barrier reef, and scattered motus are all best framed from that side during the descent. Notable sights include: Mount Otemanu, Bora Bora lagoon and barrier reef, Motu Mute (airport islet), Vaitape village on the main island.
