Great private experience with quiet boat and visiting the 3 locations for snorkeling as shared boats do. Jeff was great and banana bread by Victoria was yummy.

We did almost all the guided water activities in Bora Bora and this was the best of all the experiences. Captain Jeff had great information to share and many stories from his life and work on the island. The boat is luxurious and quiet, which can be appreciated after hearing gas motors for days. This private tour has spoiled us for life. Thank you, Captain Jeff.

    The best day excursion we’ve been on! We loved the luxury and freedom of this being a private too at such an affordable price! Every place we stopped was breathtaking and beyond words. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and felt like he was apart of our family on the tour. Could not recommend this tour more

    Stunning experience!

    Choudhury_R, Jul 2026
    It was an amazing experience! Jeff and Victoria were very friendly and made sure we felt comfortable throughout the entire tour. We thoroughly enjoyed the fresh fruit and the incredible underwater experience, including the beautiful coral reefs and colorful fishes. Jeff even used his GoPro to capture some stunning underwater photos and shared them with us. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a customized, private, and beautiful Bora Bora lagoon tour. You won't be disappointed!

    Magnificent experience

    Rosee_V, Jul 2026
    This is the best way to go in the ocean. Do you want to enjoy Bora Bora and not pollute? I love boating but the smell of fuel is sometimes nauseating, well with the solar boat, there is NO FUEL. This boat is absolutely perfect and the captain is a delight, we absolute loved his personality. It truly felt like a day with a friend exploring Bora Bora, super peaceful and enjoyable. LOVED every minute of it, I wish all boats were solar. Magnificent!!!

    Great tour. Jeff the captain brought us to a coral garden and explained different kinds of fish. He then brought us to see some reef sharks and eagle rays. The banana bread from Jeff’s wife is amazing. Very relaxing tour.

    Excellent private tour - 100% recommend!

    Long_H, Aug 2025
    Excellent private tour with my young family. We saw fish, rays, and black tipped reef sharks! The scenery is stunning and our favourite stop was the sharks. The guide was very nice and accommodating with our young kids. The boat is perfect for our group of 6 and would 100% recommend! Thanks also for the home-grown pineapple and tasty snacks. Māuruuru!

    Response from Host, Aug 2025

It is very important to us that everyone feels cared for and fully enjoys this unique experience on the lagoon. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you again in Bora Bora for another unforgettable moment.

    Highly recommend, peaceful serene experience

    Eric_M, Aug 2025
    This was an amazing experience. Jeff, our driver, was extremely knowledgeable spoke great English and was a great host overall. The beauty of using the Solar boat to tour around the island or Lagoon is how quiet it is and how peaceful the whole experience is. Jeff knew all the most amazing spots to go, I had a very intimate snorkeling experience swimming with black tip sharks and stingrays, got to see one of the most beautiful reefs like something you’d see out of National Geographic documentaries… While snorkeling thanks to Jeff. Honoring Bora Bora‘s beautiful Lagoon on a quiet solar power boat is the way to go, versus loud engines and exhaust etc.… Hands-down the best experience I’ve had on a boat in Bora (and this is my fourth visit to Bora Bora)

    Response from Host, Aug 2025

    'Ia Ora Na Eric, Māuruuru roa for sharing such a wonderful review of your experience with us. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the peacefulness of our solar-powered boat and that Jeff was able to make your tour both memorable and meaningful. Your kind words about Jeff and the solar boat mean a lot to us, as we are passionate about offering sustainable experiences that honor the lagoon and its natural treasures. Knowing that this was your best boating experience in Bora Bora, especially on your fourth visit, truly warms our hearts. We hope to welcome you back on board soon for more unforgettable moments in paradise. Sunny regards, Victoria

    This was the best private...

    Charcee_D, Jul 2025
    This was the best private excursion! We were able to snorkel at the coral gardens, swim with rays and sharks, and have a peaceful and relaxing boat ride! We were visiting Bora Bora by cruise ship and this excursion fit perfectly into our day. We were picked up and dropped off at the cruise ship pier. Communication was excellent and so was our guide. The boat is slower and very quiet. So enjoyable!

    Response from Host, Jul 2025

    Thank you so much for your lovely review! We truly love sharing our culture and way of life, so we're really happy to hear you had such a great time exploring the different spots and enjoying the peaceful boat ride. It’s great to know everything fit perfectly with your cruise schedule. Thanks again for choosing us — we hope to see you again one day in Bora Bora! Mauru'uru roa

    Awesome time with Jeff!...

    Awesome time with Jeff! The boat was perfect and Jeff knew right where the beautiful marine life was

    Response from Host, Feb 2025

    Ia Ora Na, That’s amazing to hear, Charlie! We’re so glad you had a fantastic time with Jeff and that the boat and marine life exceeded your expectations. There’s nothing like experiencing the beauty of Bora Bora’s waters up close! We’d love to welcome you back for another adventure soon!

    Magical experience

    Selene_T, Jun 2025
    We had an absolutely magical time on board! The guide was professional, passionate and very friendly, which made the excursion even more enjoyable. On the program: manta rays, leopard rays, blacktip sharks... A real immersion in the heart of marine life! And what about the coral garden: an explosion of colors, hundreds of fish, in crystal-clear water... We felt like paradise. Thank you for this amazing experience, recommend with your eyes closed!
