Spectacular snorkeling tour with Aro

The private snorkeling experience exceeded our expectations! Our guide and boat captain, Aro, was extremely personable and professional. He told us all about the island of Bora Bora and the culture. He took us to some fantastic spots where we swam with beautiful fish, rays, and sharks. He swam with us at the first spot, attracting the fish, and pointing out a seahorse and other beautiful marine life. He also offered us a nice snack and serenaded us on the boat.
Highlight of Bora Bora! Perfect day.

Our family of 5 (3 teen girls) did the private snorkel lagoon tour with Aro last week. It was a highlight of our time in Bora Bora. We saw the entire island, stopped for snorkeling with sharks, rays, beautiful fish. It’s absolutely safe and the best way to see that the island is just as stunning under water. Our guide, Aro, was so generous in sharing his love and connection with the island. He even taught us how to spot little seahorses that we were able to find the way of our trip. And the boat is clean, comfortable and fun! When we return to Bora Bora we will do the exact same tour.
Perfect snorkeling experience

Perfect experience with Nick. We saw Manta Rays, Sting Rays, Black Tip Reef Sharks and beautiful fish in the coral garden. Nick played the ukulele and sang for us. We felt safe and not pressured at all.
Our best tour on our trip.

This our third time using Lagoon Services and they never fail to give one of the best days on our trip. On this trip we had Coco again as our driver/guide and was just as friendly and nice as the last time in 2019. Despite it being an unusually windy day he found us great spots for snorkeling. I can’t recommend this tour and company highly enough. Until next time…

The snorkeling experience with Mike and Tama was amazing!!! They were so friendly and knowledgeable and took us to see exactly what we asked for. We saw eagle rays, black tip sharks, sting rays, and a ton of fish, plus the amazing coral garden. The boat was smooth, the views were amazing, and the singing and ukulele/drums made the trip very special. We did a private tour and it was worth every penny! I highly recommend this experience!

Pros : Fabulous half day tour, our guide Niko was very friendly and funny. We weren’t his customers, we were his team. Took us to three different locations. Cons: first stop were told it was chest deep, maybe if you are 6ft 6in, and with the current it was quite difficult ( nigh on impossible to stand up). Otherwise it was what you would have expected. One word of advice, make sure you are covered up, if there is no cloud cover you WILL get sunburn. Thanks again to Niko
Great snorkeling with Coco!

The half-day snorkel trip was excellent. We saw stingrays, reef sharks (at two locations), several manta rays, and beautiful coral at the coral gardens. Coco was a wonderful guide. I highly recommend this excursion.
Amazing experience!

Our excellent guide/captain Mana really went the extra mile to create a wonderful experience. Really good snorkeling, got the chance to hug a sting ray and swam with black tip reef sharks. We also learned a lot about Bora Bora and it was nice to go around the whole island. On top, we got 30 min more than expected. Thank you, Mana!

We went for the half day private tour as we have a 2yr old. The tour was definitely a highlight of our entire trip. Our guide Mana was exceptional. Helped us to tailor our tour to the best of our needs. Wish we could come back again soon!
Amazing time spent with the sharks and stingrays

My wife and I were recently in Bora Bora celebrating our 15 year wedding anniversary. We had been talking about swimming with sharks for as long as we have been together and Lagoon Service helped to make it happen. We booked a private half day shark/ray/coral garden snorkling tour through the St. Regis Bora Bora and had such an amazing time. The day of our tour saw rain and wind which actually worked to our advantage. For the first stop, we were the only boat for miles and had the full attention of over a dozen black tip reef sharks in crystal clear waters. We were able to capture some amazing video with our GoPro. It was peaceful and I felt completely safe. About 45 mintues in, a sister boat showed up. Our tour guide joked with that boat saying he started the shark tour with ten people but was now down to two. My wife and I thought it was hilarious. At the second stop, there were 3 photogenic stingrays and more sharks. Our guide got in the water with us and let us hold one of the females named Gigi. The last stop was the coral gardens which was absolutely breathtaking. You literally navigate your way through a labrinth of some of the most amazing coral structures teeming with sea life. A huge thank you to Lagoon Service for the tour and hospitality.
