Airport to Bora Bora City Center Transport

Bora Bora Airport (BOB) is located on Motu Mute, so transport to Bora Bora city center, Vaitape, starts with a boat crossing. The main options are the scheduled airport shuttle boat, hotel or private boat transfers, taxis from Vaitape dock, and car rental after reaching the main island.

Bus

There are no municipal buses departing directly from Bora Bora Airport because the airport is on a separate islet with no road connection to Vaitape. Travelers should first take the airport shuttle boat to Vaitape, where local road transport can be arranged. The boat crossing usually takes about 15 minutes.

• No public bus line operates from Bora Bora Airport terminal.
• Use the airport shuttle boat from Motu Mute to Vaitape dock.
• Continue from Vaitape by taxi, rental car, scooter, bicycle, or hotel shuttle.

Airport Shuttle

Bora Bora does not use a Havas or Havabus road shuttle system; the regular airport shuttle is a boat service. Air Tahiti passengers use Bora Bora Navette, while Air Moana passengers use the Air Moana maritime shuttle. Services are timed with flight arrivals and departures, and the average crossing to Vaitape city center is about 15 minutes.

Taxi

Taxis are not available directly outside the airport terminal because the airport is sea-access only.

The average journey from Vaitape dock to central locations is about 5 to 15 minutes, depending on the destination.

Car Rental
