Bora Bora (Society Islands, French Polynesia) NTTB
By Bill Melichar
Bora Bora is a famous south Pacific tropical island paradise located 150 miles northwest of Tahiti. Quite possibly one of the most beautiful islands in the world, it has become a popular tourist destination. It is composed of a lush central island with two towering peaks, surrounded by sparkling shallow water and encircled by palm covered small islands known as the Motus.
The Bora Bora airport is located on one of the Motus, which surround the Island of Bora Bora. The Motus are raised coral reefs which act as break waters, and create the beautiful turquoise lagoons which surround the French Polynesian Islands. This scenery is a complete remake of the original, and is now much more accurate as to what the airport looks like. It contains the main terminal, a fire station attached to the tower with fuel tanks, open air hangar structures, two helipads, and wood stairs taking you down to the boat docks where you are transported to the main island. This is one of the most unique French Polynesian Islands with its beautiful and interesting mountain structure.
