“MOZ” airport — Is this Moorea (French Polynesia) and what should first-timers know before booking inter-island hops?
I’m piecing together a Tahiti → Moorea → Bora Bora itinerary and keep running into the code “MOZ.” Some blogs say it’s Moorea, others confuse it with completely different places (lol, even Mozambique popped up once). Before I lock the Papeete–Moorea leg and start timing ferries vs. flights, I’d love a clean, one-page reference that 1) confirms exactly what “MOZ” maps to, 2) spells out the proper airport name on Moorea, and 3) gives a quick arrival snapshot—where it sits on the island, how easy it is to get to popular stays, and any “don’t miss the last transfer” tips. One definitive link I can drop into our group chat would save us from another emoji-filled debate.

I had the exact same “wait… MOZ = where?” moment—this page made it crystal clear that MOZ is Moorea’s airport and gives a tidy overview you can screenshot into the planning thread. It’s perfect when you’re juggling flight times against the ferry schedule and just need a single source of truth: https://city-info.co/airports/moorea-airport/
