This tour was one of the...
This tour was one of the highlights of our trip. Our tour guide was friendly and accommodating throughout the entire duration and ensured safety of all guests. Swimming with sharks and stingrays is a once in a lifetime experience and I would recommend every traveler in Bora Bora to do it. The Polynesian lunch was also phenomenal and was superior to some of the food we ate at our hotel.

Authentic experience of Bora Bora, with the BEST guides!
The day started with our tour guides picking us up at our resort by boat. After picking up a few other people, we stopped at 4 different snorkeling locations to snorkel! We saw manta rays, eagle rays, black tipped sharks, stingrays, and a coral garden where there’s “love Bora Bora” written in the sand underwater! Mana and Rai were so full of energy and very informative throughout the whole tour. They were always there to help if needed as well!
After snorkeling we circled the whole island to get to a private location for a bbq lunch. It was very delicious! We then learned how to open coconuts and taste the water, flakes, and milk! We then got to go to the coral beach and swim in the ocean a little more before heading back to our resort.
Throughout the whole tour, the guides were playing music and singing for us which made the experience so much more memorable! I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone who visits Bora Bora!
They do supply snorkeling masks, however if you have your own mask and flippers I recommend bringing them along. Also they supply towels on the tour.

Best tour!
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!

Must see snorkeling in Bora Bora with amazing staff!!
Outstanding trip - we saw the eagle rays and the manta rays and our ship captain personally guided us through the coral reef. Swimming with the rays, particularly the manta ray was magic. Vincent and his helper Ro did a great job ensuring that everyone was safe and enjoying themselves. So glad we signed up for this one!

Amazing private tour!
It was great! We got picked up from the hotel and hit all the main spots. We managed to swim with tiger rays, sting rays, manta rays, sharks and many fishes. The snorkeling in the corals was the easiest in my life. You just float and enjoy the beautiful fishes. My wife was pregnant and our guide was extremely careful while driving and he drove her very close to all the animals so she didn’t have to swim that much. He was very kind and thoughtful towards her.

Fun time on land and sea
The combo lagoon and island tour made for a full and fun day. Terai pushed his 4x4 to take us to a lot of beautiful lookouts despite muddy, steep roads. The boat guides were fun and informative. The lunch on a private motu was delicious.
I'd ask the guides to be more mindful of where they put their flippers while showing guests the marvels of the coral gardens.

Highly recommend
We were picked up at our over the water bungalow by car. The boat tour took us across beautiful waters to swim with sharks and stingrays. Then the next stop was to see the coral reefs. We then were dropped off by boat to our bungalow. Highly recommend this tour. Our guide was awesome.

This was the best guided...
This was the best guided snorkeling tour I have ever been of because of our two guides. They were locals who were extremely knowledgeable, and took us to see the most amazing parts of Bora Bora. The stingrays we swam with had been named (shout and to Shakira), and even though no food was given to the animals, even the fish flocked to our guides like old friends. This made the experience even more special. When I return, I will definitely be booking with them again.

Easily 10/10 experience
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!

It’s Rocky, it’s Bouncy, it’s Great..
This tour operator takes great care of the costumers. Picked us up at the resort and took us to their base. Very friendly and caring for us mature riders.
The ATVs appeared well maintained and operated as they should. The tour started with a drive around the island on the main road with several short stops and one off road jaunt up, and I mean up, to a spectacular overview of the lagoon. Really rocky and fun climb on the atv. After that we finished around the island back to their base where an even more straight up rock climb took us to an old World War 2 gun emplacement. Wonderful views of the entry to the lagoon and a little talk on the history of the guns. Then it was back down, in very low gear, to their base.
I highly recommend this tour..

Perfect family day with manta rays, eagles rays and even a seahorse!
We had an absolutely amazing time on the Reef Discovery tour! Our family, from grandparents to kids, loved every second of it. The highlights were definitely swimming with the manta rays, eagle rays, stingrays, and even lemon sharks—but the magic moment was finding a seahorse in the coral garden!
A huge thank you to our guide, who was incredibly attentive and made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable, especially the non-swimmers in our group. It made all the difference for the grandparents and little ones to be able to enjoy this experience without any worry.
It’s not often you find a tour that perfectly balances adventure with safety, but this one nailed it. Highly recommended for families

Bora Bora Island Tour
The tour circled the entire island with various stops along the way. Seating was in the covered rear of a 4WD truck. Capacity is 8 passengers. The 4WD was definitely needed as we went to 2 elevated locations. One was to a WWII gun emplacement. The 40 min. Round trip path to the gun was VERY rocky and uneven. Remain at the truck if you have any walking difficulties. The other elevated stop was a flat location high above the ocean overlooking the bay where the cruise ship was located. Overall, a great trip.

Not seeing something you are looking for?
Bora Bora’s powder-soft beaches and swaying palms may be idyllic, but nothing quite rivals the splendor of its underwater world. From its turquoise lagoons to its lush reefs—home to tropical fish and colorful coral—the island boasts a wonderland of aquatic discovery. Bora Bora snorkeling tours offer the most direct way to explore without the complex equipment or certifications necessary for scuba dives. Embark on an aqua safari, get up close (but not too close) to resident sharks and stingrays, or book a private tour for a fully personalized (and romantic) experience.
