    This was easily the...

    This was easily the highlight of our trip. If you’re debating between a private tour or group tour, I’m here to tell you to book the H2O private tour without any hesitation. It was so seamless, customizable, and everything we could have wanted. Our tour guide went above and beyond and could answer any question we had about the island or the wildlife. We got to see everything: manta rays, eagle rays, dolphins, a million fish. We were too tired to go to the last snorkel spot so we asked to circle the island one last time, where we were fortunate enough to spot a turtle. We would do this again in a heartbeat. Thanks for everything!

    Awesome day!

    Wonderful day with Mat on the boat! We saw 3 types of rays, sharks, colourful fish and dolphins. Tasty lunch on a private motu that belongs to the company. Exactly what we imagined a perfect day in Bora Bora would be like. Thank you!

    Private tour well worth the cost!

    Private tour was awesome, just me, my wife, and the captain of the boat, Matt. He was great! Showed us coral canyon which was best snorkeling we’ve seen even after 8-10 snorkel adventures in Hawaii. Then manta rays, schools of 50+ eagle rays, and sharks and stingrays. All at different places around the lagoon where he knew we would find them. Lunch was great. We asked him to stop in the middle of the lagoon where water was shallow and played in the sand seemingly in the middle of the ocean. He explained local culture, the fish and ecosystem, etc.

    Mind blown!

    Wow... this was the highlight of my trip! The boat arrived in the morning to pick us up (2 couples). It was clean and had a cover for some shade. 1st stop was an epic snorkeling spot. 2nd stop was to view the Manta Rays (we saw 6!). Next was lunch. A beautiful beach setting, delicious BBQ, clean restrooms, and a walk to the other side of the Motu. After lunch, 3rd stop was more epic snorkeling. We had an option for a 4th stop but decided against it and he drove us around while narrating island history. Bora Bora was unbelievably beautiful and spending the day with Vincent made it even more special.

    Don’t even think twice; book this now.

    Well, there are no words. I’ll begin my saying that I have been quite lucky to have explored the globe, and have tried out many tours along the way. Without a doubt, this was the best tour; the best day, of my life. From start to finish, Aimee and David were impeccable. While there is usually some level of discomfort or awkwardness with any host or hostess, not once did myself nor any of my friends, feel as though we weren’t truly comfortable; family. Of course, the tour itself was also incredible! I’ve been to Bora Bora quite a few times… but David’s knowledge and comfort in the water, not only made me swim in places I hadn’t before— but I did so feeling totally safe and excited to swim. If you are lucky enough to have the chance to book this, DO IT. (Oh, and lunch was the best food I’ve had in Bora Bora, which also helps.)
