✨ AI-Enhanced Insights

Tupai Airport (TPX/NTTU) is a small airstrip on Tupai Atoll in French Polynesia's Society Islands, about 20 km north of Bora Bora. It primarily serves private and charter flights to the atoll, which is known for its turquoise lagoon, coconut groves, and quiet motu. The airport has limited infrastructure and no regular scheduled commercial airline service.

💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors schedule boat transfers around the tide and wind, as the shallow lagoon can make afternoon crossings choppier; also carry cash (CFP) since card payments and supplies are limited on the atoll.
🚖 Getting There

Access is usually arranged through your accommodation or a local operator, typically via a short boat transfer from Bora Bora or a charter flight. There is no public bus or taxi service at the airport, so pre-book transfers. If arriving by air, confirm pickup because the airstrip is remote and services are limited.
