Bora Bora Motu Mute Airport (BOB)
16° 26.6′ S · 151° 45.1′ W
Bora Bora's airport sits on Motu Mute on the northern barrier reef, on the WWII Operation Bobcat airstrip, so every passenger arrives by boat. That makes crew changes easy for yachts at Vaitape.
Practical
IATA BOB / ICAO NTTB; 1,505 m runway 11/29 (Wikipedia). Air Tahiti flights from Papeete take about 50 minutes (Tahiti Tourisme). A free airport shuttle boat runs between the airport dock and the Vaitape quay; meet crew at the Vaitape ferry dock or the fish-market loading dock. Hotels run their own launches. A WWII-era dock on Motu Mute is mapped by Tahiti Tourisme's Bobcat trail.
