About this tour
This 30-minute private flight circles Bora Bora in a light aircraft, departing from the island airport and hugging the coral reef at 400 meters. You'll observe the dramatic color shifts across the lagoon, pass over world-class resorts, and spot palm-fringed beaches from above. The slow cruise pace gives you time to absorb the island's geography and coastal beauty. Note: flights operate one traveler per aircraft; additional passengers wait at the airport terminal overlooking the lagoon.
Highlights
- Aerial view of Bora Bora's turquoise and deep-blue lagoon contrasts
- Low-altitude reef tour at 400 meters altitude
- Coastal views of luxury resorts and coconut-lined beaches
- Private aircraft experience with dedicated pilot
- Landing and airport facility fees included
What to expect
You'll board a small aircraft at Bora Bora airport and take off toward the coral reef. The pilot maintains a leisurely pace and low altitude so you can clearly see the lagoon's color variations—turquoise shallows shifting to deeper blues—and identify beachfront properties and vegetation patterns below. The complete loop takes about 30 minutes. If traveling with companions, each person flies individually while others relax in the airport cafeteria with views of the lagoon. The flight concludes with a return landing to the airport.
