Bora Bora Airports Travel Guide

Welcome to the Bora Bora Airports travel guide.

Getting to Bora Bora is a little bit more involved than just getting to the main island of Tahiti.  First you must fly into Tahiti’s airport, Tahiti Faa'a International Airport.  This airport is managed by Setil Airport Company and is a medium sized, clean airport where several large international carriers as well as the smaller inter-island and charter companies provide flying services to the rest of the French Polynesian Islands.  This airport features several gift and pearl boutiques, a flower shop, restaurants, cyber points, and a duty free shop.  There is also a money exchange point, post office, and a bank that open and close in tandem with the arriving international flights and have uncertain schedules at other points throughout the day.

 

After flying into Tahiti, you must take a chartered flight to Bora Bora's airport.  This airport is named Motu Mute Airport but is also called Bora Bora Airport.  It is served by Air Tahiti with frequent flights from Papeete and Moorea.  Transport from the airport to the hotels should be arranged by your travel agent or by your hotel.  Taxi services are also available, as well as the public transit system, Le Truck, which operates between the main villages and the ferry.
