Top Bora Bora Snorkeling

Excellent tour. Our guide Noe was so informative and helpful. We learned a lot from Noe. We saw plenty of colorful fish, coral, and the highlight: a huge manta ray which followed us for several minutes. You won’t be disappointed if you take this tour.

This was the most amazing tour I think we have ever done. Tao our guide was absolutely phenomenal. Our favorite part of the tour was the coral garden near the airport. We have snorkeled many place including the Great Barrier Reef last year and I would say it any even beat out that snorkel excursion. The reef was beautiful with many layers and a complete labyrinth of coral and fish species. Tao is very dedicated and passionate about his job and his community and it shows in his work. Excellent tour that made our entire trip to Bora Bora and the Society Islands.

Excellent snorkeling experience with a guide duo that wanted the group to see the wildlife without feeding fish to come. It's a huge ethical issue with other tour companies that our guide did not contribute to. The 4x4 tour was a great way to get a glimpse into life on the main island of Bora Bora as well as the history. Lastly, the lunch was a delicious homemade mix of local favorites. After eating at the hotels for a few days, having homemade food was that much better.

I was just hoping to see one or two sharks. We saw a manta ray that got almost close enough to touch (one guy on another tour tried to dive down closer and was swiftly grabbed by his guide). Then we saw about 50 eagle rays migrating together. Then we saw four sharks and maybe five or six stingrays constantly swimming around us for half an hour. It was the coolest snorkeling experience. Guide was great. Pick up and drop off at the hotel were great. I’d do this again every time.

Overall this was a wonderful experience! We got picked up by boat at the Conrad, and taken to the main office to check in for our excursion! We were given hairnets and helmets, as well as in depth instructions on how to handle the 4-wheeler. We went around the whole island and had 2 stops with very scenic overlooks. The second stop was at the WW2 cannons where our guide Mana made us a snack to enjoy! He gave us the history of the cannons and answered any other questions we had. Great experience overall! I highly recommend having the person who’s riding in the back to have their phone in a pouch around their neck to take pictures and videos along the way.

Three snorkeling stops this afternoon in the lagoon off Bora Bora, run by a captain who was originally French and is now, correctly, French Polynesian. He knew exactly where to go and exactly what he was looking at when we got there — not the scripted enthusiasm of a tour guide, but the specific knowledge of someone who actually lives inside this ecosystem and wants you to understand why it matters. The speedboat circuit around the island set the table — volcanic peaks, that impossible lagoon color, vantage points you don’t get from shore. Then three separate sites, each with its own character. Coral formations in full health, fish doing fish things in every direction. And then the things you can’t plan for: a manta ray moving underneath us like it had nowhere particular to be, and a moray eel threaded through the coral reminding everyone that this isn’t a theme park. Each stop earned its place. Nothing redundant. The afternoon was structured the way a good argument is structured — each section building on the last, the conclusion obvious in retrospect.

I was impressed from start to finish. Prompt in picking me up, explained the entire process, knowledgeable and put us all at ease. The helmet was easy to wear and the guide was with us the entire time. Took pics of us individually which we were able to purchase. I would highly recommend!

From the start, everything was well organized and so much fun. The guides were fantastic and made us feel completely safe the entire time, which made it easy to just relax and enjoy the adventure. The jet ski portion was definitely a highlight. They let you get up to speed and actually have fun! The 4-wheeler ride through the mountain trails was a bit rough at times, but still a cool way to see a different side of the island. So fun and getting to do a quick loop around the whole island gave us the most incredible, picture perfect views. All of the equipment was in great condition, which made a big difference in the overall experience. The snorkeling portion with the sharks and rays was unforgettable, and everything felt very well run. As a bonus, lunch was included and it was actually really good. It was not just a small snack. We got a huge pizza, a chicken sandwich, and a burger, plus two drinks. Overall, such a fun, adventurous, and well-rounded excursion. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Bora Bora!
