5.00The reef Was impressive and love the ocean and feeling on a boat. The staffs were very friendly and guided me through the reefs. It was the first time that I love snorkeling. If you like snorkeling you mist do it in bora bora
Very cool experience- rays you can touch, Black Tip sharks that don't eat you

5.00We booked this tour through a Paul Gaugin cruise. It provided the experience of snorkeling with rays and black tip sharks-not the black tip reef sharks that tend to eat you. The water is crystal clear and shallow enough for most people to stand on the sandy bottom. Snorkel masks provide underwater views, snorkels and fins are not necessary. The guide actually pets and kisses the rays. You can touch them if you desire and they come close enough to you. Do not approach them or seem aggressive as they do have stingers in their tails and you do not want to deal with that. Remember Steve Irwin, The sharks come close , but you do not touch them or appear aggressive as they are predators, just the smaller version of the ones outside of the lagoon. Underwater cameras or phones in protective cases work well, and the water clarity actually allows good pictures from above the water. The trip includes going past over water bungalow developments and to another shallow area where a floating snack is provided and more rays cruise by, including right between your legs.
Short and sweet...
