Terminal 1 handles the majority of short-haul and regional traffic, while Terminal 2 is the hub for long-haul carriers and Aer Lingus. If your route transits through the USA, you can take advantage of the US Pre-clearance facility in Terminal 2, allowing you to clear customs before departure.

To reach the airport from the city centre, Aircoach provides 24-hour services stopping at major hotels, while the Dublin Express (routes 782 and 784) offers frequent links from Connolly and Heuston rail stations. Local Dublin Bus routes 16, 41, and 102 also serve the terminals from various districts. Private hire vehicles and taxis are readily available for direct transfers.

Upon landing at Bora Bora Airport (BOB), also known as Motu Mute Airport, you will find that the facility is located on an islet. The primary way to reach the main island or your accommodation is via the free boat shuttle operated by Air Tahiti, which takes about 20 minutes to reach Vaitape. Many resorts also provide their own private boat transfers directly from the airport quay.

Entry requirements for Bora Bora

As Bora Bora is part of French Polynesia, Irish citizens and other EU nationals do not require a visa for stays of up to 90 days, but a passport valid for at least six months beyond your stay is mandatory. If your flight transits through the United States, you must obtain an ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) before departure from Dublin, even if you are only passing through the airport.

Bora Bora is defined by the dramatic peaks of Mount Otemanu and the white sands of Matira Beach. Visitors travel here to explore the vibrant barrier reef through snorkelling and diving or to take lagoon tours around the various motus. The island offers a tranquil environment for hiking and water sports, serving as a distinct retreat in the heart of the South Pacific.
