2.Full Day Combo ATV & Jet Ski with a Polynesian BBQ on a Motu

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 373 reviews · from $652Top rated

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!”
