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.

• Bora Bora Airport dock on Motu Mute
• Vaitape village dock
• Nearby Vaitape taxi stand and car rental offices

Taxi

Taxis are not available directly outside the airport terminal because the airport is sea-access only. After taking the shuttle boat to Vaitape, taxis are usually available near the dock and can also be booked in advance for late arrivals or hotel connections. The average journey from Vaitape dock to central locations is about 5 to 15 minutes, depending on the destination.

• Taxi pickup near Vaitape dock
• Transfers to hotels on the main island
• Pre-booked taxis for evening or early-morning travel

Car Rental

Car rental is best arranged for pickup on the main island, usually near Vaitape dock rather than at the airport terminal exit. After the 15-minute shuttle boat ride from Bora Bora Airport, travelers can collect a rental car, scooter, or small vehicle from local offices close to the arrival quay.

• Rental offices near Vaitape shuttle dock
• Advance reservations recommended during busy travel periods
• Useful for exploring Matira Beach, viewpoints, restaurants, and main-island resorts

Transfer

Private transfers are a convenient option for travelers going directly to a resort, villa, or hotel outside Vaitape. Many accommodations organize their own boat transfers from Bora Bora Airport, while private operators can arrange custom lagoon transfers. Booking in advance is strongly recommended, especially for luxury resorts, late arrivals, groups, or travelers with extra luggage.
