“It was amazing. We enjoyed very much. We saw sharks, mantas, stingrays, and eagle rays. We were even lucky enough to see dolphins. The guide Manu was so funny and nice. He showed us everything with passion and he truly cared. Ari the sailor was the best, so friendly and nice. He showed us things on the way and he was so nice. They always offered us help and drinks and were absolutely wonderful. Thanks for a wonderful day!”
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 The 4x4 vehicle was extremely uncomfortable and outdated, and the stops along the way were unimpressive.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.”

“Nice experience. Entire activity was well coordinated and organised. They explained instructions also clearly and assisted in entire experience. 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.”

“I hesitated as 1st because of the open air vehicle & so glad my anxiety said "Just Do It" . . . I booked for 4 of us & ALL of US thought the tour of the island with this tour operator was phenomenal - We were able to take roads up the hillsides where NO BIG Tour bus could go & the incredible views/pictures taken with forever be our memories. We were blessed with a great tour guide who was so knowledgeable/informative of the island & the offerings for guests. DON'T Miss Out - Book Now!! We have so many pictures to share in this review BUT I hope…”

“The tour company will not respond. We were provided a tour that only included the cruise. No 4wd tour was included. This was not what we paired for and have asked for a partial refund. 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.”
