Between each spot you will enjoy a leisurely cruise to the next one soaking in the magnificent scenery.

5.00Captain David picked us up on our hotel dock promptly in a spotless, beautiful boat for our half day private snorkeling tour. He took us to no less than 4 spots all over the island and swam with us to point our Manta Rays, Eagle Rays, Sting Rays, and a variety of fish. Even stopping in the channel to swim with a dozen black tip sharks. Aimee (coordinator) was super responsive and helpful. David was friendly, knowledgable, and gave us great insight into the island and ecosystem. We had a wonderful time and would definitely book with them again in the future. Thank you, David and Aimee!

5.00This was a wonderful excursion. We were picked up and dropped off right at our hotel dock. Taki was a fabulous guide. He was fun, knowledgeable and very easy to spend time with. He even entertained us by singing and playing the ukulele. We saw huge rays and endless amounts of fish in the coral garden. It was so nice to have a private tour so it was just the 4 of us. I highly recommend this activity and ask for Taki.
Great guide! So many colors that did not look real.

5.00We booked with H2O from a referral from new friends we met while staying at Westin Bora Bora. Our guide was right on time to pick us up on the dock. He was awesome! The first of three stops, we saw a Manta Ray. Second stop was a beautiful reef. So many colors. Nake would play his Uke and sang to us while we were preparing to leave for the next stop. The last stop we saw a fever of eagle rays (18 of them) along with a smaller sting ray. Since this was private, he made a quick stop in town for us to grab some snacks and souvenirs. What an experience.
A MUST in Bora Bora!

5.00This was by far one of the best excursions we took while in French Polynesia. Our captain was amazing. We had 3-4 separate snorkeling stops. We swam with 25 eagle rays, 3 manta rays, a stingray, and through a beautiful coral garden. We even stopped when a 25’ tiger shark was swimming next to our boat. Just incredible! Highly recommend!!
Excellent tour and guide

4.00Snorkeling trip with H2O in the Bora lagoon. There were 6 of us on the boat that picked us up at the pontoon. We had our equipment but there is also what is needed on board. Beautiful coral garden and very many ray eagles at the bottom of the lagoon (relatively far). Unfortunately we did not find any manta rays on the various spots visited. Fortunately we were told how to find them by ourselves which we did the next morning. A nice outing but we preferred Fakarava, Huahine and Moorea
