Distance & flight time from BOB
Bora Bora Airport
Bora Bora Airport, coded BOB, is built on Motu Mute, a small islet at the northern edge of the Bora Bora lagoon in French Polynesia. The airport sits just 10 feet above sea level and operates a single runway laid along the islet. Because Motu Mute is separate from Bora Bora's main landmass, arriving passengers typically continue their journey by boat to reach hotels and the town center. Air Tahiti operates most flights into BOB, connecting the island to Tahiti's Faa'a Airport and other destinations within French Polynesia. The airport's placement on reclaimed coral land reflects the limited flat terrain found across the wider Bora Bora island group.
