What To Expect
Coral Gardens
The Coral Garden in Bora Bora is a stunning underwater paradise, located just off the main island in the lagoon. Known for its vibrant marine life and crystal-clear waters, it's a top snorkeling and diving destination where visitors can swim among colorful coral reefs, tropical fish, and sometimes even stingrays. The Coral Garden offers a serene and immersive experience, showcasing Bora Bora's natural beauty and biodiversity in a setting that feels both untouched and magical.
Bora Bora is famous for its encounters with graceful manta rays, especially around the Anau area in the lagoon. These gentle giants, with wingspans that can reach up to 20 feet, glide through the water in mesmerizing loops, feeding on plankton. Many tours offer snorkeling and diving trips to see the manta rays up close, especially early in the morning when they're most active. Known for their calm nature, manta rays in Bora Bora offer a breathtaking and peaceful underwater experience for divers and snorkelers alike, making them one of the highlights of Bora Bora's marine life.

A perfect Day

5.00If you are still deciding, stop and book it. We did the half day for $160 and it was more than worth it. The views were like something out of a postcard, the guides Ramon, Tahahiti and Jef absolutely made the experience, they made us feel comfortable and shared the history of Bora oceans in an informal setting, we saw manta-rays and black tip reef sharks. The entire operation is worth every minute, I loved how they take you to a private beach for lunch made by the locals and sang alongside playing the ukulele. Beautiful. Thank you for your kindness and the incredible experience. Michelle, Naomi & Alissa

5.00These guys exceeded our expectations. They showed us many beautiful motu’s around Bora Bora, we snorkeled and swam with some stingrays and reef sharks. Good food and a stop at the beach. What we loved about this was the crew seemed to really love showing off their beautiful island with pride. Highly highly recommend this tour.
Great day!

5.00Expect to get wet and to have a lifetime opportunity swimming with Manta Rays, Eagle Rays, Stung Rays, and Sharks. You are lucky if you get Geff as a guide because he sings as well as answers all questions and points out interesting info about the island
An Unforgettable Day in Bora Bora

5.00Absolutely unforgettable day — Bora Bora Full Day Manu Lagoon Excursion was perfection from start to finish. We left right on time with a fantastic guide who clearly knew the lagoon inside and out. Our first stop was swimming with manta rays, and I honestly saw the largest manta ray I’ve ever seen. An absolutely breathtaking animal and an incredible experience. Next, we swam with reef sharks at another location—thrilling but calm, and very well managed. Then came the coral garden, which was by far the most beautiful coral reef I’ve ever seen. What really stood out was how thoughtful our guide was: he led us through a natural passageway so we could see the very best parts of the reef without damaging the coral. You could tell they truly care about protecting the lagoon. Our final water stop was in front of a gorgeous beach where we saw eagle rays and a few more reef sharks cruising by—just magical. Lunch was prepared right there on the beach and was a traditional Polynesian meal. They took the time to explain each item, which made it even more special. Afterward, we had plenty of time to relax with chairs and chaise lounges. There were restrooms and a rinse-off shower, which was much appreciated after a full morning in the water. Later, they demonstrated traditional basket weaving and let us try it ourselves, along with peeling coconuts—such a fun and authentic cultural touch. After a full, perfectly paced day on the water, we returned to the port tired, happy, and smiling. This excursion truly had it all: incredible marine life, stunning scenery, cultural experiences, great organization, and a wonderful guide. One of the best days I’ve ever had on the water. Highly recommend.
Fantastic day snorkeling

5.00The mantas, black tip sharks & sting rays came so close while we snorkeled, I could have petted them (but didn't). It was awesome. Our guide, Jeff, was excellent. Saw many different colored clams. And, if the great snorkeling wasn't enough, a pod if spinner dolphins came by & put on a show for us!
Great little experience...

5.00Chris is absolutely awesome. He is a very experienced captain and guide who immediately made our family feel comfortable. He is extremely professional and truly great with kids, which made the entire experience relaxing and enjoyable for us. The food was outstanding. Honestly, it was the best food I had on the island and better than all the other tours and even hotel dining. The chef absolutely deserves five stars for the quality, flavor, and presentation. Chris is also super easy to communicate with, responsive, and accommodating. You can tell he genuinely loves kids and cares about making sure families have an amazing experience. Highly recommended. An incredible day with great service, great food, and great people.
