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…”

“We were joining this tour in April, 2019. Our tour guide or better say our captain, Simon, is a handsome and humorous guy. He led us to various places inside the lagoon with his comfortable speedboat where we could spot different kinds of corals, stingrays and corals fishes. He is a very good guide taking great care of everybody especially my wife. As we are not good swimmers, he brought us snorkeling equipments as well as life vests. He paid great attention to us, calming down my wife and taught her the snorkeling technique. He made us feel so happy and really enjoy a wonderful day! Simon, we are giving…”

Bora Bora lagoon cruise and 4WD combo with snorkeling for stingrays and black-tip sharks, coral gardens, lunch, and island viewpoints.
“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.”
