5.00Had an amazing day with our guide Vatea- a great local guide with quick wit and fun sense of humor. We had an amazing experience swimming with rays, sharks, and exploring a coral reef. He even serenaded us and played ukulele- a real treat as we circumvented the island. Felt incredibly safe with him. Fresh fruit and coconut bread hit the spot after some time in the water. Highly recommend!!

5.00Our guide, Ventea was awesome. He really made our trip. Seeing a eel come up out of the coral was really cool. Saw many sharks and got to touch stingrays. Great trip Thanks
Don’t miss!

5.00Fabulous experience, owing much to our superb guide Rony! Having done a group tour last time, we opted for a private one this time - just the two of us. The price difference may look high, but it is thoroughly worth it given the ability to shape the program exactly how you would like it (enough time snorkeling here, can we stop on a motu, etc). Rony was a wonderful captain/guide, with deep knowledge stemming from being born here, and a great ability to anticipate and meet our needs. Mauruuru, Rony!
You’ll be tempted not to leave your resort, but this is something you should not miss!!

5.00Hands down the BEST coral reef I have ever seen! Our guide Toto gave us the highlights of the lagoon snorkeling tour, and swimming with sharks just outside the lagoon. It was exhilarating! Beautiful sharks, fish, coral heads. Toto made us feel safe at all times. He is also a great singer and played a few songs for us. Went to swim with the stingrays (and sharks), too. The whole experience was absolutely fantastic!!
Again please

5.00We had an absolutely incredible experience with Lagoon Services in Bora Bora! From the very beginning, communication was easy, clear, and professional. They were transparent with instructions on where to meet and what to expect, which made everything seamless and stress-free. On the day of our private snorkeling tour, everything exceeded expectations. They provided snacks, water, juices, towels, and all the snorkeling gear we needed—such a thoughtful touch that made the day even more enjoyable. We had the privilege of having Ta’o (I hope I’m spelling that correctly!) as our guide, and he truly made the experience unforgettable. He shared amazing stories about their culture throughout the trip, sang songs, and played something similar to a ukulele, creating such a special and authentic atmosphere. We honestly didn’t expect to see everything on the itinerary—but we got the full experience and more! We swam with sharks, interacted with stingrays, and were guided to watch manta rays. It was truly one of the best days ever. I feel so grateful for this experience and especially for the opportunity to meet Ta’o. I would absolutely book with Lagoon Services. Highly recommend. Mahalo nui loa!
Best thing we did on Bora Bora!

5.00I can't recommend this tour highly enough. Toto was an excellent guide and we learned so much about Bora Bora. He took us to fantastic snorkeling sites! We loved his singing/ukulele playing. We were glad we did the private tour when we saw the other boats. It was just 2 couples and was so worth it. This is the best thing we did while on Bora Bora, and we hope to do it again someday. Thanks Toto!
Best experience of out trip

5.00We were lucky enough to have Toto as our guide and it was an unbelievably awesome experience! My husband and I got to snorkel in multiple areas seeing so many beautiful sights while learning about the island and sharing some laughs along the way. Toto made everyone feel comfortable and made sure we all got to see the sea life, including petting some sting rays. We were even fortunate enough to spot manta rays and my husband seen a moray eel. If there's one thing I could do again it would be snorkeling with him.
Absolutely best experience on our trip

5.00Absolutely fantastic tour. Tau, our guide was great, friendly, knowledgeable and a mean ukulele player and singer. Made everyone feel relaxed about the experiences. Swam with stingrays and small sharks at the first stop. We didn't realize that the we were going out through the barrier reef into deeper water for the mind-blowing swim with the dozens of bigger sharks, so awesome. Then the coral gardens were great and we finished up on a tour right around the island. Cant believe we fitted it all in but it was fantastic value. We spoke with some of the other passengers on our cruise that went with other operators and they were so jealous! Would recommend absolutely Mauruuru again Tau.

5.00My wife and I enjoyed a once in a lifetime opportunity to snorkel among sharks, sting rays, and a variety of beautiful fishes in both the deep water and coral gardens. Our experience was highlighted by Toto's welcoming and cheerful personality. He made our honeymoon an unforgettable time.
Highlight of out trip!

5.00We booked a private half day because we would be traveling with our two year old and didn't want to disturb others if he acted up. We got so lucky to get Ronny as our guide and not only did he show us great sights and animals, explain the island, feed and entertain us, but he was AMAZING with our toddler! Thank you for spending the time to find a Manta for us to snorkel with and intruding our son to Juliette the string ray!
