Full-day Bora Bora lagoon cruise with snorkeling for stingrays, manta rays, and reef sharks, plus motu lunch and island entertainment.
“The tour stopped at the same snorkelling spots as several others and so it was rather crowded in the water and we also felt rather rushed, given that as soon as we reached the motu for lunch we had far too much time there with no snorkelling or anything else afterwards. There was a parao-making demo and coconut opening but we'd rather have spent more time in the water. The vibe wasn't really there on the boat compared with other tours we'd done on other islands. There was a lot of confusion with people being added to and removed from the group and the guide seemed somewhat nervous. There was…”

“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!”
Ride Bora Bora by ATV and jet ski, then enjoy a Polynesian BBQ lunch on a motu with local guides.
“There is a little storage box on the back of the ATV for smaller personal items. The guide carries water on the ATV. Bring your sunscreen and bug spray might be useful for the ATV portion. They also have little ponchos in case of a downpour. The jetskis also have a small compartment for personal items to stay dry. The water was a little rough in some places but it was manageable for us who had never done this before. Bring cheap sunglasses in case you lose them on the jetskis. Bring a towel to dry off after. So much fun and would definitely recommend this adventure!”
