After pickup at your hotel or the Vaitape pier, board your private boat for your 3- or 6-hour snorkeling cruise, with your own captain who shows you the best of Bora Bora’s lagoons and coral reefs. Set off around the island to prime spots based on your interests and the conditions that day. You may head to shallow waters to see stingrays and blacktip reef sharks, either swimming in the water under guidance from your captain or just observing from the boat. You’ll also snorkel around coral gardens teeming with fish.. If you are new to snorkeling or nervous in the ocean, your captain is happy to assist you so that you feel at ease in the water. If you select the 6-hour tour you will have an additional stop for lunch at a pristine motu beach with a view of Bora Bora’s Mt Otemanu and a sparkling blue lagoon. While your captain prepares a Polynesian-style barbecue picnic, you can relax on the white sand and cool off in the clear waters. When lunch is ready, eat at a shaded table on the beach, choosing from dishes such as grilled fish, chicken, or beef, served with salad, fruit, and other sides. Afterward, enjoy more time to snorkel, swim, or sunbathe at your leisure.
