2.Half Day Island 4WD Guided Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 440 reviews · from $91

Small-group open-sided 4WD around Bora Bora with lagoon lookouts, WWII stops, tie-dye and coconut oil. Optional sunset wine.

“The only positive note was the guide — very friendly and well-prepared. Unfortunately, I didn’t enjoy the rest of the trip at all. The 4x4 vehicle was extremely uncomfortable and outdated, and the stops along the way were unimpressive. The vehicle really needs to be replaced — it’s far too old and unpleasant to ride in. A shame, really.”

Only thing I regret is my little one could not make it to the experience and it happened due to him being unwell on the day. The company could not refund the amount paid due to last minute request.”

They have not or maybe will not respond to our emails. Feels like a bait and switch. I’ll be contacting our credit card company.”
