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!
Spectacular snorkeling tour with Aro

5.00The 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.

5.00Our 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

5.00Perfect 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.

5.00This 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…

5.00The 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!
Half day snorkelling with Rays and Sharks

5.00Pros : 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
